How Can I Use Vacuum Forming For Concrete Molds?
March 9, 2023 4:03 pm Leave your thoughtsHow It Works Vacuum forming, also called thermoforming, is the process of heating a plastic sheet and stretching it over a mold or pattern. This type of molding from D&D Plastics can be used to create a variety of parts, including concrete molds. It is particularly popular for contoured packaging that requires high precision and detail, such as food storage containers or medical equipment that meets stringent sterilization guidelines. During the vacuum forming process, a thermoplastic sheet is heated until it becomes soft, then stretched over the mold and suck down tightly using vacuum pressure. This process creates durable, reusable, and highly sturdy parts that can support rapid prototyping. Once the part is formed, it’s trimmed and cooled. A band... View Article
