Thermoforming is a molding technique that uses heat and pressure to deform sheets or
plates of plastic material, creating three-dimensional objects of different shapes and sizes.
Thermoforming
give shape to your ideas through heat
How it works
Heating
The plastic material is heated until it reaches a plasticity temperature, or the temperature at which the material becomes soft and malleable.
Molding
The heated plastic material is placed in a mold with the desired shape and subjected to pressure.
Cooling
The plastic material is cooled inside the mold, assuming the desired three-dimensional shape.
