Automotive vacuum forming is a process used to make strong, high-quality plastic parts for vehicles. It works by heating a plastic sheet until it’s flexible, then shaping it over a mould using a vacuum. Once cooled, the part is trimmed and finished to match the required design.
This process is used to make parts like dashboards, door panels, and interior trims. It is fast, cost-effective, and great for creating detailed shapes. It works for both small prototype runs and large-scale production, making it a good choice for car manufacturers.
Vacuum Forming has become a staple of several important industries including Medical, Automotive, Aerospace, Rail, Public Transport, Experimental & Prototype Vehicles & more.
Our automotive vacuum forming capabilities offer a versatile and efficient solution for producing high-quality plastic parts for the automotive industry.
We work with a variety of materials, including HIPS, ABS, and Polycarbonate, in thicknesses ranging from 0.25mm to 10mm. This allows us to meet the diverse needs of automotive manufacturers, from interior components to exterior parts.
Our teams tooling capabilities include both CNC machining and pattern-making, ensuring that we can deliver useful solutions for both low-volume prototype production and high-volume manufacturing. We can create custom tooling for any size project, from one-off prototypes to thousands of units.
Depending on the application of the end product APH3G can offer Vacuum formed components from the range of plastic materials listed below :
