Thermoforming

Formed to a specific shape.

Thermoforming of blisters is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable, forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and then trimmed. The sheet, or “film” is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that is then stretched into or onto a mold and cooled.

In its simplest form, a small tabletop or lab size machine can be used to heat small cut sections of plastic sheet which are then stretched over a mold using a vacuum process. This method is often used for sample and prototype parts.

In complex and high-volume applications, very large production machines are utilised to heat and form the plastic sheet and trim the formed parts from the sheet in a continuous high-speed process. This method can produce many thousands of finished parts per hour depending on the machine and the mold size.
