Deep Drawing & Thermoforming

Deep Drawing of Plastic Parts is a versatile manufacturing process applied in various industries. It enables the production of three-dimensional plastic parts and is particularly well-suited for the manufacturing of housings, packaging, or technical components, among other applications.

The process of deep drawing begins with a flat plastic plate that is placed over a mold. The shape, often called a tool, consists of a positive or negative half. By applying heat, the plastic becomes soft and malleable. Subsequently, it is drawn or pressed against the mold using a vacuum or compressed air system. This process allows for the precise reproduction of the desired form.

The applications of deep drawing are diverse, ranging from the aviation, the automotive industry to electronics and medical technology. For instance, in the automotive sector, deep drawing is utilized for producing dashboard covers and interior panels. In the packaging industry, the method is widely used for manufacturing blister packaging and containers.

Overall, deep drawing of plastic parts provides an efficient and cost-effective means of producing high-quality products with intricate shapes. With advancing technology, continual developments and enhancements are made in this field to meet the diverse requirements of various industries.
