Metal to Plastic Conversions
Thinking about converting away from metal, fiberglass or injection molded plastic? Here is a list of advantages thermoforming can provide to make your conversion a success:
Compared to injection molding, thermoforming:
Has less expensive tooling costs
Faster tool changes
Can satisfy a lower volume niche & higher product runs
Produces a thinner gage than injection, resulting in lighter parts
Yields strong material from the uniform nature of the sheet versus random flow during injection
Compared to aluminum, thermoforming:
Has less expensive material costs
Creates lighter weight pieces
Makes parts more flexible and impact resistant
Is non-oxidizing and chemical resistant
Economically offers multiple cosmetic finishes
Has a wide variety of colors available
Compared to fiberglass, thermoforming:
Creates lighter weight and more durable parts (less cracking)
Offers better repeatability in each part, with less ambient influence on the process
Makes trimming into desired shapes easier
Offers solvent & ultra sonic welds
Produces less hazardous dust and raw materials
Creates no VOC’s
Is recyclable
Offers varied surface finishes and color throughout the part
Specialized thermoforming
Some of the world’s most recognized OEM’s rely on Fiber Pad for highly specialized thermoforming solutions.
Twin Sheet Process
Two plastic sheets are simultaneously heated and then formed or fused together to resemble a blow-molded or rotational molded product, with several advantages: two-color, two-material thicknesses option, hollow product, increased structural integrity.
Undercut Process
Undercutting allows the plastic to form into an area of negative draft. Typically this means that it is difficult to release the mold from the plastic. However, Fiber Pad has specially designed machines and processes to enable designs with undercuts.
Pressure Forming Process
Vacuum and positive air pressure is applied to achieve injection-molded level of details and textures without the high injection molding tooling cost.
Our Industry Applications
Fiber Pad creates high quality parts that are built to AS9100 Rev. D & ISO 9001:2015 quality certification standards.
