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.

Opido Reinforcement System

What is ORS?

With its wide range of applications, the ORS technique is an important complement to our range of possibilities in plastic.

In one of Sweden's most advanced production facilities, we can combine materials and create light, stable and impact-resistant product solutions. The technique is based on lightweight expanded polyurethane (PUR) being applied in several layers to achieve the desired thickness.

Part with an integrated fixing element in ORS

Strong yet elastic

Fixing elements can be integrated into the material

In this way we can develop insulating sandwich structures that are very useful in many different conditions, where stability and low weight are a crucial combination.

The material can be recycled and is therefore fully in line with our policy of reducing the environmental impact of our operations.

The technique

Groundbreaking technology

Opido Reinforcement System is a groundbreaking technique for reinforcing plastic designs with durability and strength. With ORS we apply lightweight expanded polyurethane (PUR) in several layers to create light, stable and impact-resistant products.

Applications

For which products?

Our production facility makes it possible to adapt each product to specific requirements for thickness, weight and strength. ORS is ideal for products that need high impact strength without compromising on weight or design freedom.

The technique is often used in the automotive industry, the construction industry and other areas where robust, light solutions are in demand.
