Why Choose Thermoforming to Manufacture Large Parts?
Choose large part thermoforming if you’re someone who likes saving time, money, and stress. Thermoforming is more cost-effective than injection molding for large scale parts.
- Faster speed to market
- Lower tooling costs
When you need a large plastic part that’s durable, that’s precise and that’s economical – count on large part thermoforming from Industrial Custom Products.
Why Thermoforming and Not Injection Molding?
Thermoforming holds many advantages over injection molding for plastic parts. Thermoforming is the much more cost-effective for the production of large parts.
Thermoforming
- Flat sheets of thermoplastics are heated to a pliable temperature, then molded to a tool shape using suction from a vacuum.
- Final pieces can be hand trimmed or trimmed with a multi-axis CNC.
- Lower tooling costs & shorter lead times.
- Very cost-effective for lower-volume and larger parts.
Injection Molding
- Thermoplastic pellets are heated to a liquid and then injected into a mold.
- Final pieces are removed from the mold.
- Higher tooling costs & longer lead times.
- Very cost effective for high-volume parts with a longer life cycle.
