Thermocore specializes in large-scale plastic components. Our expert staff will assist you with design, tooling, customization, and material selection to provide you with a creative solution for your thermoforming project.
The thermoforming process often provides a lower cost to production than injection molding. Lower cost tooling and a simpler process for offer an exceptional pathway for many products. You can find thermoformed products across many applications.
Products that are created with thermoforming:
- Clamshell Pipe, Fittings, Couplings and Appurtenances;
- Appliance doors, drawers and drain pans, shower enclosures;
- Electrical Housings, Shower Enclosures, Playground Equipment, Exercise Equipment Components
- Bumpers, Bed Liners, Floor Mats and Dashboards
- Point of Purchase Display Components
- Medical Equipment Enclosures, Business Machine Enclosures and Trays
Creating quality plastic molded components requires the right thermoforming technology. Thermocore’s team will work with you to plan a forming process that:
- Is labor and material-efficient
- Maintains consistency from piece to piece
- Produces parts with the right dimensions, rigidity, features, texture and finish
- Satisfies end-users with affordable, durable plastic parts
During the thermoforming process sheets of plastic become heated until they are malleable enough to form around a mold when a vacuum is applied. It is a simple process that produces resilient, lightweight, and seamless parts quickly and efficiently.
Thermoforming can be used to form thermoplastic sheets into three-dimensional shapes. Thermoforming tooling can be constructed rapidly and less expensively compared to other molding processes. Fast cycle times, combined with computer numerical controlled (CNC) routers for trimming, allows us to provide rapid turnaround of components with dimensions of up to 9.5′ length X 5′ width X 3′ depth.
We focus on product quality to ensure the highest quality products for your needs. The table below provides more in-depth information about our Processes, Maximum finished part dimension capability and types of materials we can process..
