Advances in materials, tooling, and technology continue to blur the line between the most suitable process and a given application. Thermoforming, of course, can be used to make everything from ...

Thermoforming is the process of softening a material enough so that it can be tweaked into a new shape, with the source of ...

Thermoforming research at the IKT plastics technology institute at Stuttgart University is putting the emphasis on upcycling of used material. An "UpFilT" project, developed with 3D printing filaments ...

Sustainability, automation, in-mold labeling and improved technology are some of the drivers of change in the thermoforming sector, according to a new report from the Plastics News research department ...

Normally, foam cores cannot be used at temperatures higher than their glass transition temperature (Tg). The ArmaFORM AC grade PET core material has a Tg of around 75ºC. However, crystallization in ...

Chances are good that you’ve already lost some blood to thermoforming, the plastics manufacturing process that turns a flat sheet of material into an unopenable clamshell package, tray inside a box, ...

Before attempting a full-blown thermoforming process, it is recommended that the reader experiment with the actual core materials (type, density and thickness) that they intend to use and identify the ...

Wickert Machinenbau, a German company producing complex, fully automated systems integrated in its hydraulic presses, will present its new thermoforming press dedicated to the production of aircraft ...

The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Thermoforming Division has named Harold (Hal) Gilham Thermoformer of the Year. The award will be presented during SPE’s Thermoforming Awards Dinner, held in ...
