Thermoforming

Automotive recycling combines EOL bumpers with carbon fiber scraps. This rCF-rPP composite increases stiffness and diverts plastic from landfills.

AI-aided polyurethane simulation reduces modeling time from days to seconds. Digital material twins optimize tool design and predict foaming behavior.

A new hybrid composite EV battery housing reduces weight by 20% and costs by 30%. This SPE award-winning design optimizes safety and scalability.

Carbon black pigments blocked NIR sorting, hindering black plastic recycling, but new industry innovations are now solving the issue.

For thermoforming manufacturers like Duo Form, reducing production costs and lead times has become essential to staying competitive.

Reverse engineering (RE) in plastics processing has become an essential method for product reproduction, improvement, and optimization. It involves a thorough understanding of the design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance stages.

Sustainability or design for the environment was almost always considered at the end of the design process. This can no longer be the case; sustainability is no longer about the environment. It is the environment. 

PVDC is a synthetic polymer with exceptional barrier properties. It has transformed industries such as food packaging and medical products.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

Thermoforming plays a crucial role in processing plastic sheets, and choosing the right manufacturer is key to achieving superior quality and performance.
