Industrial Trimming of Thermoformed Plastic Parts: Punching & Milling
After forming, thermoformed parts must be precisely trimmed to their final contour using plastic punching or plastic milling.
The choice of trimming method depends on tolerance requirements, edge quality, and surface finish, as well as material type, thickness, and contour length.
For thicker materials processed on sheet-fed machines, an initial rough cut is often necessary. Due to their rough cutting lines, saws and serrated knives are used for preliminary trimming, followed by a fine finish cut.
At formary, we offer a variety of cutting and trimming techniques. Using our online configurator, we determine the optimal punching or milling process for your specific project.
Plastic Punching: How Does It Work?
Plastic punching requires a high-performance press equipped with a custom cutting tool.
This tool, often shaped as a circular die, can also be customized for various geometries. The press applies high pressure to push the cutting tool through the plastic, creating precise cutouts with the desired shape.
