High Pressure-forming is vacuum forming using additional high pressure.
The method provides the option of more detailed surfaces on the product.
The process has a limited environmental footprint as the material does not contain any solvents; neither does it cause any harmful emissions.
Typical applications
Medical equipment, lighting, doors, shutters, front panels, components for the aerospace, boats, cars and trains.
1. Vacuum forming tool
The tool is placed in the High Pressure machine. The sheet is inserted.
2. Heating
The sheet to be formed is heated from above and below to between +170-210°C.
3. Compressed air
Using compressed air, the warm and soft sheet is pushed down into the tool. Up to a pressure of 5 bar. Around five times the pressure used in the injection-moulding process.
4. Cooling
Once the sheet has been moulded it is cooled and is then ready for after-machining.
