Vacuum Forming
We offer plastic Vacuum Forming service for specialist one off jobs (prototypes) as well as full batch production runs. Our vacuum forming service produce plastic parts for various industries, such as the food, cosmetic, medical, electronics, entertainment and automotive.
Vacuum forming is a process where plastic sheet is heated to its transition temperature and placed in contact with a mould. The plastic sheet is formed into a new shape with pressure from the vacuum. Vacuum forming is a great solution when the customer needs too many units to fabricate by hand and too few units for injection molding.
We specialize in bespoke custom plastic vacuum forming projects from large piggy banks, giant boots to giant bottle displays. Alternatively our vacuum forming machines are kept busy with large production runs of bespoke gear trays, sunbed panels and lighting fixtures. Our CNC machinery and trimming service ensures rapid turnaround at all times.
Our in-house design team is available to help with material selection, CAD / CAM designs, offer 3D visuals and produce initial prototypes to bring your projects to life. Our skilled fabricators can produce quality in-house tooling or alternatively bring in specialist aluminium tooling for vacuum formed parts that requires maximum precision.
