Thermoforming is a low-cost alternative to sheet metal, rotational or injection molding for producing plastic parts.
Thermoforming:
- Allows small and large volume production runs which are economically feasible.
- It also allows cosmetics — such as embossing— to be molded into the part. This process allows branding on all products.
- Allows for the use of advanced plastic extrusions.
- Efficient and cost-effective way of producing/manufacturing large plastic parts.
- Lead times for tooling and production are usually much shorter than other processes.
- Usually allows for easier and lower cost mid-run design modifications.
- Offers short-term low cost testing of designs and market acceptance through the use of temporary tooling.
- Cost effective way to produce large panels, housings, enclosures or similar parts.
- Project costs are usually much lower than other processes.
- Reduced tooling costs.
- Allows for cost-effective short production run.
