Pre-blowing in a GEISS machine
Vacuum forming

Heat and vacuum form a thermoplastic sheet over a tool. A competitive method, especially for larger products in small and medium-sized production runs.

Twin Sheet formed surface with hollow sections
Twin Sheet

Two thermoplastic sheets are formed and welded together in the same process. The result is hollow parts with strength, stiffness and low weight.

High Pressure formed plastic components with sharp details
High Pressure

Vacuum forming assisted by compressed air. In addition to the vacuum, compressed air presses the sheet down into the mould. The result matches injection-moulded parts.
