     An effective way to mold or shape plastics parts, the method involves heating a polymer sheet until it is softened, and then stretching it over a form of the desired part shape. The sheet is held against the form until the part has rigidified. The formed part is then trimmed, drilled, or finished as necessary.

     Thermoforming has quickly risen to dominate the manufacture of thin, rigid, plastics parts, and is competing with injection molding, blow molding, and rotational molding for durable products.

     The two platens lock together for a positive seal. Vacuum pressure is applied to the mold below the plastic sheet, and air pressure is applied simultaneously to the top of the sheet, When the platens are separated, the part is cooled, and continues on to finishing steps as needed.
