Draft Angles in Vacuum Forming

This guide covers how to measure lead time on a vacuum formed part: what the designer has to decide, what the mould maker needs to know, and the checks that catch problems before tooling is

In vacuum forming and thermoforming, prototype tooling is one of the variables that decides whether a part comes off the machine within tolerance or has to be reworked. This entry explains w

scorched sheet surface is one of the faults that shows up during sampling on any new thick gauge tool. It is visible on the part, but the cause is usually in the mould, the heating cycle or
