Vacuum Forming
Our vacuum forming capabilities include a variety of thermoforming machines, trimming/routing machines, CNC machining center, tool room for mold design/building, broad ‘secondary’ fabrication capabilities and CAD design are other in-house offerings.
Our sheet-fed machines allow custom production for station molding which can handle up to 8mm thick material in sheets as large as 3500mm x 1500mm.
Multiple inline thin gauge machines allow for around-the-clock operation and our inline machines can handle any material in roll form. Single part sizes can be as large as 760mm x 1100mm, but molds can be manufactured to accommodate multiple parts within that area allowing for greater production quantities in a shorter period of time.
Auxiliary operations include trimming, drilling, CNC machining, painting, pad printing, screen printing, sub-assembly, packaging, gluing and other manual operations.
