Fabrication service
Thermoforming
We thermoform plastic sheets to assess pieces such as blisters and shells made over a mould, according to the shape and intended use of your project.
Shape a sheet over a mould
Thermoforming turns a heated sheet into a three-dimensional part. We use Mayku Multiplier, a pressure-forming machine, not a vacuum former. Material, mould and geometry are reviewed together before defining the piece.
How we work with you
We start with your model or intended shape. We review the available mould or its preparation and a suitable sheet. Hot-wire foam cutting is a different process and is not part of this operation.
For bending an acrylic sheet into a lectern or display, explore acrylic bending and curving.
What we can do
- · Sheet forming over a mould
- · Mould review and preparation
Who it's for
- · Formed packaging
- · Shells and shaped parts
What we need to quote
Share geometry, dimensions, application and quantity. Tell us whether you have a mould or model and which material you want so we can assess compatibility and preparation.
Questions about your project
Are thermoforming and foam cutting the same process?
No. Thermoforming shapes a heated sheet over a mould; a hot wire cuts foam. For a thermoformed part we review mould, sheet and geometry. Mayku Multiplier uses pressure, not vacuum.
What do I need to prepare a thermoformed blister or shell?
We need shape, dimensions, application and quantity, and to know whether you have a mould. We can assess mould preparation using CNC or 3D printing and review the sheet for pressure forming.
What should I send for a quote?
Share geometry, dimensions, application and quantity. Tell us whether you have a mould or model and which material you want so we can assess compatibility and preparation.
