Bo-Mer has been striving to find the most effective ways to serve our customers since 1946. This is where our vacuum forming services come into play. By providing this option for our customers, we can offer lower costs and faster results, due to superior production variables.
A plastic sheet is heated to pliability then a vacuum is created between the softened sheet of plastic and the mold which results in a 3D replication of the mold surface. The process of vacuum forming has been in use since the 1930’s due to its favorable manufacturing characteristics. The most amiable materials in use with the vacuum forming process are thermoplastics; however, extensive research is being conducted to expand this list.
The quality products we present to customers are in part a reflection of our carefully selected machinery. We use top of the line vacuum forming equipment to pair with our talented machinists. Our equipment includes:
Bo-Mer sees vacuum forming as a useful tool in providing superior value to customers. There are several advantages that make it one of our top processes.
Tooling is more simplistic than plastic injection molding; time to market is faster. For these two reasons, it can be much more economical to produce using this method versus using plastic injection only.
It’s a highly adaptable process that can fit specific, changing customer needs. It works well when used in conjunction with plastic and/or metal processes.
We take you behind the scenes for one project each quarter. Take a look at how projects go from idea to reality.
