Thermoforming is efficient and very cost-effective for the production of many
plastic parts depending on their size, shape, and quantity. Initial project
costs are usually much lower, and lead times to tooling and production are
generally much shorter than other processes. Modifications to design often times
may be achieved. Temporary tooling offers an inexpensive short-term test for
design issues and product market acceptance.
Large panels, housings, enclosures, and similar parts are especially well-suited to the
thermoforming process. Tooling costs for these parts is considerably less than injection molding,
which may have cost-prohibitive tooling costs. Parts with features mostly confined to one side of
the part are best suited to thermoforming, but features on the uncontrolled side of the part may be
addressed by trimming or fabrication and assembly.
