At Borke Mold, we specialize in manufacturing large, durable, and cost-effective components using Pressure Form Vacuum Molding. This advanced thermoforming process delivers high-quality, large-scale parts without the high costs and long lead times of injection molding.
Whether you’re in the transportation, agriculture, food service, or industrial equipment sectors, pressure forming provides a strong, reliable, and budget-friendly alternative to traditional molding methods.
What Is Pressure Form Vacuum Molding?
Pressure Form Vacuum Molding involves heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then using a vacuum to suck the material down onto a mold. The plastic cools and solidifies, forming the shape of the mold. This process is ideal for large, thin-walled parts and components with detailed surfaces on one side.
Types of Parts Made with Pressure Forming:
- Large, thin-walled components
- Parts with fine details on the mold-facing side
- Applications like dashboards, refrigerator liners, and trays
Pros of Pressure Forming for Large Components:
- Cost-effective for large parts
- Lower tooling costs compared to injection molding
- Capable of producing large parts with less material waste
- Excellent for making parts with clear materials
Cons of Pressure Forming:
- Limited to relatively simple geometries
- Only one side of the part has a finished surface
Key Advantages of Pressure Forming for Large Components
1. Cost-Effective for Large-Scale Production
Pressure forming allows manufacturers to produce large, lightweight parts at a fraction of the cost of injection molding. Tooling for pressure forming is significantly more affordable, making it an excellent choice for low-to-medium production runs.
2. Stronger, More Durable Parts
With the added force of compressed air, pressure forming creates sturdier and more uniform components compared to vacuum forming alone. This makes it ideal for structural parts that must withstand wear and tear in heavy-duty applications.
3. Faster Turnaround Times
Compared to injection molding, which can require months for complex tooling, pressure forming allows for shorter lead times. At Borke Mold, we typically deliver custom pressure forming molds within 2 to 8 weeks, helping you meet tight production schedules.
