The machine is called a sheet machine that oversized molds and heavy gauge material will not fit into a inline thermoforing machine. Female molds use plug assist for deep draws along with snap-back. I worked in thermoforming for 37 years and even helped Sencorp in R & D on their 2500 and 2200 3 station inline. Setup is pretty easy getting the machine to run is a art form. Webs and thin walls along with host of other troubleshooting skills.
Hmmm.... I thought injection molding was the only option for a product I'm developing, but now I will have to experiment with vacuum forming. Can I get sheet material with carbon or glass fiber fill? I'll have to look into this!
RPT is a strong and durable material that is often used in insulation, packaging, and construction applications. However, it is not suitable for thermoforming.
I have a question I have a thermoform machine which I just purchased , every thing is working fine but the issue is the trimming process, the heating ,forming are all perfect but the trimming section is giving issues, . It trims perfectly when machine works for the first 20 min's but longer than that it no longer trims well
You guys are the best. Cheers

thanks for the info
Great information for manufacturing large & strong plastic parts. I assume that "no wives were harmed in the making of this video"..??

yes they have worked with both- call David at C& K Plastics
Can rpet be thermoformed

Sounds like a heat issue
