Vacuum moulding

Vacuum moulding is a manufacturing method to create a new product from a flat plastic plate. This product can be a workpiece carrier, bin or a lid. The plate is first heated and then sucked to a mould. After cooling down the plastic retains the shape of the mould and a new product is born.

Below are several case studies:

Case studie : Philips

Because the supply chain at philips was being reorganised, they choose to redesign the steps from production to packaging of lightbulbs.

Case studie : Structuplas

The car parts had to be shipped from the factory to the customers.
