As reported by MatterHackers in their article “Pressure Forming vs. Vacuum Forming – What’s the Difference?”, the decision between pressure forming and vacuum forming depends heavily on design complexity, detail requirements, and production needs.
Vacuum forming, a more streamlined form of thermoforming, involves heating a plastic sheet until it’s pliable and then using a vacuum to draw it over a single-sided mold. It’s a go-to solution for creating shallow-depth components such as packaging, signage, and basic automotive parts. Its simplicity and speed make it ideal for high-volume runs and cost-sensitive projects.
