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.

Flatbed router in Opido's production in Lagan

Machining & foam cutting

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

Injection moulding tool with moulded parts

Injection moulding

Molten plastic is injected into a closed tool. Suited to large series of identical parts.
