Thermoforming: A Very Economical Way to Provide Precise Parts for the Automotive Industry
Thermoforming is a process for forming thermoplastics under the influence of heat and with the aid of compressed air or a vacuum. The process has increasingly found applications in the industrial sector.
As an alternative to injection moulding, it is characterised by favourable mould costs and is particularly economical for small and medium-sized series.
