Plastic Vacuum Forming Manufacturer
As part of our commitment to offering comprehensive plastic forming capabilities, we are proud to introduce our plastic vacuum forming services. This advanced manufacturing process complements our injection molding expertise, providing versatile and cost-effective solutions for a wide range of applications.
What is Plastic Vacuum Forming?
Plastic vacuum forming, also known as thermoforming, is a manufacturing process where a sheet of thermoplastic material is heated to a pliable state and then shaped over a mold using a vacuum. This process is particularly well-suited for creating large, shallow parts with complex geometries, offering a cost-effective alternative to injection molding for certain applications. It is widely used across industries for its efficiency, design flexibility, and ability to produce high-quality parts quickly.
Our Plastic Vacuum Forming Capabilities
At Baiwe Molding, we leverage our extensive experience in plastic manufacturing to deliver exceptional vacuum forming services. Our capabilities include:
Matériaux: We work with a diverse range of thermoplastic materials, including ABS, HIPS, PETG, acrylic, HDPE, and more, ensuring we can meet your specific material requirements. These materials are selected for their durability, impact resistance, and suitability for various applications.
Part Sizes: From small prototypes to large production runs, we can handle parts of varying sizes and complexities, with dimensions ranging from compact components to oversized assemblies.
Techniques avancées: Our state-of-the-art equipment supports advanced vacuum forming techniques, such as plug assists, billow forming, and multi-daylight molds, allowing for enhanced detail and precision in part production.
Industry Standards: We adhere to strict quality standards, including certifications such as ISO 9001, ensuring that every part meets the highest quality and performance requirements.
The Vacuum Forming Process
Design: We collaborate with you to design the optimal mold and part specifications, ensuring the final product meets your exact needs.
Sélection des matériaux: Based on your requirements, we select the most suitable thermoplastic sheet material, considering factors like durability, impact resistance, and aesthetics.
Heating: The plastic sheet is heated to its forming temperature, making it soft and pliable.
Forming: The heated sheet is stretched over the mold, and a vacuum is applied to pull it tightly against the mold’s surface, forming the desired shape.
Cooling and Trimming: The part is cooled to set its shape and then trimmed to achieve the final dimensions, using advanced techniques like CNC or robotic trimming for precision.
Benefits of Vacuum Forming
Choosing vacuum forming for your project offers several key advantages:
Rapport coût-efficacité
Lower tooling costs compared to injection molding make it ideal for low to medium-volume production runs, reducing upfront investment.
Flexibilité de la conception
The process allows for the creation of large, complex shapes with ease, making it perfect for parts with intricate geometries.
Personnalisation
We tailor our services to your exact specifications, ensuring every part meets your unique requirements.
Lightweight and Durable
Vacuum-formed parts are lightweight yet strong, ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical without compromising durability.
Délai d'exécution rapide
Quick prototyping and production cycles ensure your parts are delivered on time, even for tight deadlines.
Applications of Plastic Vacuum Forming

Vacuum Forming vs Injection Molding
At Baiwe Molding, we understand that different projects require different manufacturing approaches. While our injection molding services are perfect for high-volume production of complex, detailed parts, vacuum forming offers distinct advantages for larger parts and shorter production runs. By offering both services, we provide you with a comprehensive range of plastic forming solutions, ensuring you can choose the best method for your specific project needs. This integrated approach allows us to deliver unparalleled value and flexibility to our B2B clients.
Feature | Vacuum Forming | Moulage par injection |
|---|---|---|
Tooling Cost | Lower, ideal for short runs | Higher, suited for high-volume production |
Volume de production | Low to medium volumes | High volumes |
Complexité des pièces | Best for large, shallow parts | Ideal for complex, detailed parts |
Délai d'exécution | Shorter, faster prototyping | Longer due to mold complexity |
Material Use | Plastic sheets (e.g., ABS, HIPS, PETG) | Thermoplastic pellets |
