  • What is thermoforming prototyping

Thermoforming prototyping is a manufacturing process used to create prototype parts by heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then shaping it over a mold using vacuum pressure, air pressure, or mechanical force. Once cooled, the plastic retains the mold's shape, forming a lightweight, durable part. This method is ideal for producing large, thin-walled components with relatively simple geometries, such as packaging, trays, enclosures, or panels.

Thermoforming prototyping is often chosen for its cost-efficiency and speed in validating designs before committing to high-volume production methods. Companies like Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd., may offer this as part of their rapid prototyping services, leveraging their expertise in custom manufacturing.
