Vacuum Forming Mould Manufacturing Process and Application
At Al Barsha Precision Moulding Dies (BPTUAE), we specialize in creating high-quality vacuum forming moulds designed to shape PET or PP sheets into precise forms for various applications, such as plastic blisters for chocolates, perfume bottles, cookies, cakes, and medicines. Our meticulous approach ensures durability and precision, tailored to diverse production needs. Here’s an overview of our vacuum forming mould manufacturing process and its applications:
Mould Development
Our process begins with comprehensive mold development, where engineers work closely with clients to design mold structures that align with functional and aesthetic requirements. Through detailed modeling and refinement, we create designs that ensure accurate sheet forming and durability.
Material Selection and Cutting
Once the mould design is finalized, we select materials suited for vacuum forming, such as aluminum, chosen for its cost-effectiveness and ease of machining. Using CNC machines, we then cut and shape the material with precision to ensure each mould component meets exact specifications.
Tool Construction
Vacuum forming tools are constructed with materials like aluminum, which are lighter and lower-cost compared to the hardened steels or alloys used in injection moulding. These tools are specifically designed to shape plastic sheets under vacuum pressure, where the precision requirements are typically less stringent than in injection moulding.
Applications in Manufacturing
Vacuum forming moulds are versatile and commonly used to produce custom plastic blisters and trays for products such as chocolates, perfume bottles, cookies, cakes, and medicines. Each mould is crafted to achieve the specific shapes and sizes required by the product.
Production Suitability
Vacuum forming is ideal for low to medium volume production. While tooling costs are lower than those in injection moulding, the per-unit cost for vacuum-formed parts is higher. This process is an excellent choice when savings in tooling expenses are prioritized over per-part costs.
Quality Assurance
We employ rigorous testing and inspection throughout the manufacturing process to ensure each vacuum forming mould meets our high standards. Functional testing confirms precise forming capabilities, while dimensional and surface inspections guarantee consistent mould performance and reliability.
Delivery and Support
Following testing and optimization, moulds are delivered promptly, accompanied by comprehensive support. We provide ongoing maintenance and technical assistance to extend mould lifespan and enhance production efficiency.
