CNC Trimming for Thermoforming

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

webbing in recesses 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 the
