thermoformauksessa

Thermoformauksessa is a Finnish term referring to the process of thermoforming. Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a malleable temperature and then formed into a desired shape using a mold. The heated plastic is typically stretched over or into the mold, and a vacuum or pressure is often applied to ensure the plastic conforms tightly to the mold's contours. Once the plastic has cooled and solidified, it retains the shape of the mold.

This versatile technique is widely used for producing a vast array of products. Common applications include packaging for food, consumer goods, and medical devices. It is also utilized in the automotive industry for interior components like dashboards and door panels, as well as in the construction industry for items such as bathtubs, shower stalls, and skylights. The process allows for the creation of complex shapes with relatively low tooling costs compared to injection molding, making it an economical choice for many mass-produced items. The thickness of the plastic sheet and the specific type of plastic used will influence the properties and final application of the thermoformed product.
