Thermoforming
What Thermoforming Is
Thermoforming plastic products is a manufacturing process where we heat a plastic sheet until it is a pliable forming temperature. We then form it to a specific shape on a mold and trim it to create a usable product.
Benefits of Thermoforming
Low-Level Forming Pressure Means Lower Cost Tooling
Thermoforming requires a relatively low level of forming pressure. This means that the tooling can be constructed at a fraction of the cost of injection molding tooling.
Faster Production Time and Turnaround than Other Plastic Processes
Thermoformed parts can be produced in a very short time frame compared to other plastic processes. For example, you can expect faster production turnaround for large volume runs compared to rotationally molded or fiberglass-reinforced plastic processes. Quick tooling turnaround and faster production runs deliver quicker time to market.

Secondary Operations and Assembly
Polymizer Automec PVT LTD is a leader in many different types of value-added assembly. This includes gluing, adding brackets, screens, plates for mounting hardware, stickers and logos, rivets, rivnuts, windows, VHB tape, and much more. We can also glue together and combine multiple parts made from plastic. This allows for many different benefits, such as added strength, the ability to add hidden hardware, and much more.
Available Machine
- . PLC control system with touch screen
- . Independently controllable heating zones
- . Pneumatically powered clamp frame
- . Automatic cooling system with cooling fans, industrial chiller and spray guns
- . Automatic vacuum forming system
- . Steel components coated with polyurethane
- . Far infrared ceramic heating bricks or Halogen heater tubes is optional. Halogen heater tube provides rapid heat response with a greater range of control to form challenging shapes and material, infrared ceramic heating brick has longer service life.
