There are multiple different methods to closed molding to fit almost any need or requirement. Closed molding reduces waste and scrap, and allows for more precise tolerances. Closed molding also allows for a cosmetic “B” side of your part.
Thermoforming or Vacuum Forming is a method of processing thermoplastic sheet or film into a formed part. A thermoplastic is a polymer that can be melted or softened when heated and hardened when cooled. This type of plastic can be reheated and reformed over and over.
