The Vacuum Forming Process
Thermoforming, the forming of plastic sheet with heat and pressure (or vacuum) to force the hot sheet against a mould face, is the fabrication method for most plastic formed into useful end products. It is suitable for smaller production runs, where Injection Moulding is not economically viable. Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming. Plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto a single-surface frame, and forced against the mould by a vacuum. This process can be used to form plastic into permanent objects such as turnpike signs and protective covers. It is a simple process that produces resilient, lightweight, and seamless parts quickly and efficiently. |

ACRON Plastics provides fabrication and assembly services for products employing many auxiliary plastic fabrication services that are often required to pull your product together, from the thermoformed plastics to finished product. The typical processes involved include ultrasonic welding, heat bending, gluing, drilling, using a clicker press and diamond or flame polishing. These processes typically consist of adding hardware, machined or fabricated metal or plastic parts, and electronics to the thermoformed parts to create the final product. Sometimes manifold vacuum thermoformed parts are bonded to form a single assembly or outsourced sheet metal or machined plastic parts are added to provide upper-level assemblies.
