Vacuum Forming Aluminum Sheet

Vacuum forming is a common thermoforming method that uses negative air pressure to force the plastic sheet against a mold suitable materials for use in vacuum forming are conventionally thermoplastics the most common and easiest being high impact polystyrene sheeting hips which is molded around a wood structural foam or cast machined aluminum mold and can form to almost any shape.

Vacuum forming aluminum sheet.

Vacuum forming also known as thermoforming is the technique in which plastic is heated to a manipulative state and form fitted against a concave surface by way of suction. A wide variety of vacuum forming aluminum sheet options are available to you such as o h112. The material and process is optimized for cost effectiveness and it is relatively easy to later make engineering changes to a part. Create molds for vacuum forming and thermoforming applications.

Metapor aluminum is porous to let air and moisture escape which prevents bubbles and blemishes. Also known as armor plate these 5083 aluminum sheets are hardened to an h131 temper for increased strength and impact resistance over standard 5083 sheets.
