At Borke Mold, we understand that achieving high-quality molded parts while maintaining cost efficiency is a top priority for manufacturers. That’s why our Pressure Forming Molds provide the perfect balance between precision, affordability, and efficiency. Whether you’re in the medical, automotive, aerospace, or packaging industry, this thermoforming process delivers exceptional results without the high costs associated with injection molding.
What Makes Pressure Forming a Smart Choice?
Pressure forming is an advanced thermoforming technique that bridges the gap between vacuum forming and injection molding. It allows us to create intricate details, sharp edges, and even textured finishes—all while keeping tooling and production costs significantly lower than traditional molding methods.
Unlike standard vacuum forming, which relies solely on a vacuum to shape heated plastic over a mold, pressure forming uses additional compressed air to ensure a more precise and detailed surface. This results in a superior finish, making it an excellent alternative for applications that require aesthetic appeal and tight tolerances.
Key Advantages of Pressure Forming Molds
1. Cost Efficiency Without Compromising Quality
One of the main advantages of pressure forming is its ability to produce high-quality, detailed parts without the high tooling costs associated with injection molding. The molds required for pressure forming are more affordable, making this process ideal for medium-volume production runs where cost savings are critical.
2. Enhanced Design Flexibility
With pressure forming, we can create complex geometries, sharp corners, and even embossed logos or fine textures on the mold-facing side of the part. This level of detail is often difficult to achieve with standard vacuum forming, making pressure forming the preferred choice for applications that demand both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
3. Suitable for Large, Thin-Walled Parts
Pressure forming is especially beneficial for producing large, thin-walled components that would be challenging to manufacture using injection molding. Common applications include medical device housings, automotive panels, point-of-purchase displays, and industrial trays.
4. Faster Lead Times
Compared to injection molding, which can have lengthy production timelines due to complex tooling requirements, pressure forming allows for quicker turnaround times. At Borke Mold, we typically deliver custom pressure forming molds within 2 to 8 weeks, ensuring that your production schedule remains on track.
