What is Boltaron thermoplastic?

Boltaron Thermoplastic Sheet is a highly durable thermoplastic alloy that comes in sheets and panels. One of the more popular commercial applications include Kydex gun holsters, or Thermoplastic knife sheaths.

What is pressure vacuum forming?

Pressure forming is an enhancement to the vacuum forming process. With traditional vacuum forming, the parts are being formed by creating a vacuum on the mold side of the sheet. Air pressure up to 60 PSI is then added to the non-mold side of the sheet in addition to pulling the vacuum on the mold side.

What is straight vacuum forming?

Thermo or ‘Vacuum forming’ is one of the oldest and most common methods of processing plastic materials. The process involves heating a plastic sheet until soft and then draping it over a mould. A vacuum is applied sucking the sheet into the mould. The sheet is then ejected from the mould.

What is the difference between vacuum forming and pressure forming?

Like vacuum forming, plastic pressure forming can produce very large plastic parts. With pressure forming, however, part features such as complex shapes, tight tolerances, and integral vents are readily achievable. Plastic pressure forming also supports clean lines, tight corners, and other intricate details.

Is vacuum forming expensive?

A vacuum forming tool that makes several parts per sheet will be more expensive initially, but the forming costs per product will be much cheaper. Check if each former has quoted the same number of parts per sheet, or whether it’s worth increasing.
