Introduction
Thermoforming is a set of manufacturing processes that heat and form sheets of plastics onto a tool. It is used extensively to produce disposable food and medical packaging, consumer goods and appliances, but also for heavy-duty applications such as automotive components and train interior parts. Thermoforming processes are versatile: depending on the technique, they can be employed from one-off to batch production with low to moderate unit costs.
Method
When designing a thermoforming tool for 3D printing, it is good practice to adhere to the rules of design for additive manufacturing as well as the general rules for thermoforming mold design.
