Thermoforming molds are applied in forming thermoplastic sheets.
The plastic sheet, which is fixed on the machine and heated up to the softening point, is given the desired shape by vacuum method. Heat is given until the sheet becomes soft without melting.
Thermoforming is a plastic molding technique that results in a variety of highly usable products.
During the manufacturing process, thin sheets of plastic are heated to make them easier to manipulate.
There are two main types of thermoforming: Vacuum forming and Pressure forming.
Vacuum forming uses heat and pressure to pull the plastic sheets into their final configuration. After a sheet is heated and placed on a mold, a vacuum is used to shape it into the desired shape.
On the other hand, in high pressure forming (hydroforming) process, high pressure fluid is sent into the pipe with a hollow structure compressed by the mold or on the sheet metal.
It is the expansion of the walls of the sheet metal according to the geometry of the mold and bringing it into the desired shape.
