Pressure Forming
Akra
Plastics has over 40 years of experience in pressure forming of quality custom parts.
Pressure forming offers quality and detail that can match or sometimes exceed other
plastic manufacturing process, along with tooling costs that are a mere fraction of
injection molding.
Pressure
forming creates highly detailed plastic parts in a process where heated thermoplastic
sheets are pressed against their mold surface using both vacuum and pressure. The result
is plastic parts with zero residual stress, a fine level of detail and features like vents
and louvers, molded-in textures, words and logos, sharp corners, tight tolerances and zero
draft.
With
the ability to form in undercuts and snap fit features, pressure forming can minimize
assembly time. It provides the cosmetic qualities many people expect from injection
molding, with a high quality finish that doesn’t need to be painted.
With
affordable tooling and production costs, pressure forming is often the best option for
production runs from the high hundreds to the mid-thousands.
