Aerospace vacuum forming is used to make lightweight, strong plastic parts for aircraft. It involves heating a plastic sheet, shaping it over a mould with a vacuum, and letting it cool. The part is then trimmed to fit the needed design.
This method is commonly used in aerospace to make interior panels, control covers, flight deck parts, and protective enclosures. It allows for precise, complex shapes, is cost-effective for small and large production runs, and works with lightweight, fire-resistant materials.
Aerospace vacuum forming ensures that the resulting parts meet the strict quality standards and regulatory requirements of the industry, offering both functional and aesthetic solutions that contribute to the overall performance and safety of aircraft.
Our aerospace vacuum forming capabilities provide high-quality, precision-engineered solutions for the aerospace industry. Our specialties highlight in manufacturing complex, lightweight components using materials that meet the stringent safety and performance standards of the sector.
Our company based tooling capabilities include CNC machining and precision pattern-making, creating us to design custom tooling for any project. Using 5-axis CNC equipment and advanced software, we deliver highly accurate trimming and finishing for complex shapes and tight tolerances.
