Manufacturing methods

Vacuum forming Larger parts in small and medium-sized production runs
Twin Sheet Two sheets are formed and welded together in one process
High Pressure Forming under pressure for fine detail and finish
ORS Light, stable and impact-resistant structures
Acrylic Laser cutting, milling and forming of transparent materials
Machining & foam cutting Flatbed router and knife for foam and engineering plastics
Injection moulding Large series with high precision
3D printing Fast prototypes without tooling
Rotational moulding Hollow parts in one piece
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.

Read about Twin Sheet
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.

Plastic component reinforced with ORS
ORS

Opido Reinforcement System. Lightweight expanded polyurethane (PUR) is applied in several layers to create light, stable and impact-resistant products.

Bent table in purple acrylic
Acrylic

Weather and UV resistant material that, in its clear version, is clearer than glass. We machine it with laser and router, and both heat form and vacuum form it.

Machining & foam cutting

Engineering plastics and foam are machined in our large flatbed router. We also cut some materials with a knife.

Rotational moulding

Large, hollow plastic components in one piece.

1

How it works

In rotational moulding, plastic powder is placed in a tool that is heated and rotated. The plastic settles evenly against the walls of the tool and forms a hollow part without joints.

2

Suitable when

  • The part is large and hollow, such as a tank or container
  • The part must be in one piece without weld seams
  • The part must withstand tough use
3

We can help

We can supply rotational moulding as part of your project. Tell us what you need and we will help you find the right method and material.
