Heavy Gauge Vacuum Forming

Vacuum forming is the process of heating THICKER PLASTICS SHEETS to a soft, formable state. Heated plastic is then stretched over a male mold, or formed into a female mold. The plastic is then pulled against the mold by applied vacuum force between the mold and the heated, formable plastic. Once the forming is completed, the formed plastic sheet is an exact representation of the molds shape. The part is then post trimmed, on a secondary trimming machine.

  Heavy gauge vacuum forming is typically for larger parts. PANIC PLASTICS  , Inc. ™ can form and trim parts up to 48" x 96" utilizing plastic starting thickness (gauge) ranging from .015" to .500".
