  Pressure Forming

  Pressure forming at Engineered Plastic Products can achieve the high quality, detailed look of injection molding with much less expensive tools. By using air pressures up to 100 PSI in addition to vacuum, textures, undercuts and other intricate details can be produced. While not as economical as vacuum forming, the enhanced design freedom and higher precision make the method a good choice for instrument covers or other high-end products in volumes that may not justify the costs of injection (read more)

  Vacuum Forming

  Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming where the extruded sheet of plastic is heated, stretched onto or into a single-surface female mold, and held against the mold by vacuum, which results in the replication of the mold surface.This process is typically restricted to forming plastic parts that are rather shallow in depth. Relatively deep parts can be vacuum formed if the sheet is mechanically or pneumatically stretched prior to contact with the mold surface and before... (read more)

  Press Forming

  Press forming is a thermoforming method that utilizes matched dies to produce complex parts with superior mechanical properties. Relatively inexpensive tools can be used to produce parts with thin ribs, embossed numbers or other details that are difficult or impossible using other methods. In addition, materials up to 1 ½" thick can be processed using this technique. Billow forming is a technique that uses compressed air to produce "blown" parts such as domes or skylights in quantities from one... (read more)

  Economical Vacuum Forming

  Vacuum forming at Engineered Plastic Products is a very economical method for producing plastic parts. This process can produce large or small parts in low quantities at a reasonable price. This involves the controlled heating of a thermoplastic material to a temperature where it is pliable enough to be altered by the shape of a mold. This mold can be made of wood, phenolic or aluminum, so tooling can be optimized depending on the properties required. In this method, the heated thermoplastic... (read more)
