Matrix Enterprises has vacuum forming and thermoforming capabilities to support your prototyping and low-volume production needs. Vacuum forming and thermoforming offer a cost effective alternative to producing parts due to significantly less costly tooling required for the forming process and can be suitable for just a handful of parts or much higher quantities.
Vacuum forming can be used in a wide range of applications and is often a suitable manufacturing method for producing:
- Protective and aesthetic coverings
- Electronic and component housings
- Trays for display and devices
- Shipping covers and trays
- Signage
- Molds (for Wax, Concrete, and other pourable materials)
- Organic shapes such as faces
There are some design considerations to take into account when designing parts for vacuum forming as there are more limitations than some other molding operations. Matrix Enterprises is able to review your designs and help you optimize it for producing vacuumformed parts and the tooling required to produce those parts.
