When manufacturing plastic parts, thermoforming is often compared with injection molding, milling, 3D printing, and foam solutions. The decisive factors are speed, cost, design freedom, material requirements, and process reliability. This article highlights the key differences between these processes.

The finishing of medical housing surfaces must meet the highest standards of functionality, hygiene, and design. This blog post will explain how formary uses thermoforming to produce visually appealing and functional medical housings ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Now live: formary has introduced a revised version of its product configurator. The new development is the result of an intensive, user-centered development process based on extensive customer feedback. Read more in the article.

With the new Design for Manufacturing analysis from formary, it is now possible to check CAD data for thermoformability in a matter of seconds, allowing potential sources of error to be identified early on before they become costly. Read on to find out what features the DfM software offers and what the Design for Manufacturing principle entails.

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.
