The benefits of vacuum forming
The main benefits of vacuum forming are flexibility and effectiveness. Prototypes, casings, packaging and other products can be made quickly, accurately and at cost-effective prices.

How does vacuum thermoforming work?
Vacuum forming, also called thermoforming or plastic moulding, is a kind of injection moulding designed to create a hollow plastic shape.
We use in-house tooling and injection moulding machines to design, manufacture and overmould any connector, PCB or component to your requirements. We offer fast turnaround and low cost, without compromising on quality.
- The heater first warms up the thermoplastic so that it is flexible.
- The Plate pushes the mould up and into the thermoplastic.
- The vacuum draws all of the air out, sucking the thermoplastic around the mould.
- The thermoplastic cools down to hold its newly formed shape.
