Dental lab 20pcs hard vacuum forming plastic sheets thermoforming plastic sheet splint material 1 0mm.
Most flexible plastic sheet thermoforming.
Then it cools into the desired shape.
The sheet is stretched across a single sided mold and then manipulated.
Some plastics like hdpe and pp have narrower processing windows and lower melt strength which make them more difficult but not impossible to thermoform.
The sheet is drawn against the mold surface.
The edge is the first part to cool down and will be the thickest.
The sheet edges are then sealed against the rim of a female mold and vacuum is applied from the mold side.

Thermoforming is a process of heating a thermoplastic sheet to its softening point.
In vacuum forming heated clamps are used to clamp the hot rubbery sheet.
Thermoforming is a highly economical process for the million fold manufacture of products such as the previously mentioned beaker lids as well as blister packs and trays.
Amorphous plastics like abs and polycarbonate generally have wide processing windows and good melt strength making them easy to thermoform.
In all cases the first step is to heat up a two dimensional plastic film or sheet and then under a vacuum or with compressed air press it against the contours of a mould.
Many plastic sheet materials can be shaped by thermoforming.
