At Borke Mold Specialists, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality Vacuum/Thermoforming Molds designed to meet the exacting standards of industries like medical, aerospace, and automotive. Our expertise, paired with cutting-edge technology, allows us to produce precision molds that ensure the reliability and durability of your final products.
The Importance of Precision in Thermoforming
Thermoforming is a process where a plastic sheet is heated and shaped over a mold to create custom parts. It’s a highly versatile technique, enabling the creation of products with complex geometries and varying thicknesses. However, the success of this process hinges on the quality of the molds. Even the slightest discrepancy in a mold’s dimensions, weight, or finish can compromise the integrity of the final product.
That’s where we come in. At Borke Mold Specialists, we maintain rigorous quality standards throughout the mold-making process. From initial design to final inspection, we ensure every mold meets your specifications with precision and reliability.
Materials and Capabilities
Our team works with a variety of materials, including aluminum, wood, polyurethane, and epoxy boards, as well as cast and CNC-machined aluminum. This versatility allows us to create thin-gauge thermoforming molds that deliver exceptional performance across a range of applications.
