Checking CAD Models for Thermoformability: The Designer's Guide

Whether a plastic part is thermoformable is determined in the CAD model. Anyone who discusses geometry, wall thicknesses, and demoldability only after the first sampling pays for this loop with tool modifications, material waste, and lost weeks in the project timeline. This can be avoided during design: with a structured check that evaluates each model along this guide and makes typical sources of error visible early on.
