Design Guide for Thermoformed Parts

This article demonstrates which stacking methods are used for different applications, where common errors occur, and which stacking method provides the greatest added value.

In an increasingly sustainability-oriented world, recycling and the reuse of materials play a key role. Plastic recyclates offer a sustainable alternative to virgin materials. But what exactly does the term mean, and how can recyclates be distinguished from virgin materials? Read more now.

Pneumatic forming is a widely used technique for shaping thermoformed parts from rolls or sheets. This process utilizes compressed air to apply greater force during the forming stage, ensuring precise shaping and efficient production. Find out how pneumatic forming works and the key advantages it offers in this article.

Vacuum forming is a method that uses vacuum and compressed air to shape plastic parts from rolls or sheets. In this process, also known as vacuum thermoforming, the vacuum pump plays a crucial role. In this article, we explain the key aspects of the vacuum forming process.

A constant challenge in the manufacturing industry is efficiently managing material flow throughout all assembly stages and departments. These logistical challenges can be optimally addressed by using product-specific workpiece carriers. Learn more in this article.

Bioplastics are plastics that are either made from renewable raw materials or are biodegradable - or both. They offer a wide range of possible applications - but what exactly are bioplastics, how are they produced and what advantages or limitations do they have compared to traditional plastics?

The Twin-Sheet process is a thermoforming technique that differs from the Single-Sheet process. In this method, two plastic sheets are heated and shaped simultaneously, enabling the production of hollow and stable components with complex geometries.

Plastic parts are manufactured using various processing methods. In this article, we focus on comparing the processes of plastic thermoforming and 3D printing.

The Kuteno Trade Fair for Plastics Technology and Northern German Supplier Industry in Rheda-Wiedenbrück was an exciting highlight for formary this year. The topics of circular economy – not least through the expert lecture by Co-Founder Moritz Bittner – and digital business models in the plastics industry dominated the Kuteno.
