Vacuum forming plays a key role in producing lightweight, strong plastic components for public transport, including buses, trams, and trains. This process allows for the manufacturing of interior and exterior parts that meet strict safety, fire resistance, and durability standards.
At APH3G, we work with a wide range of vacuum-formable materials, including fire-retardant plastics, to create components such as seat shells, wall panels, ceiling liners, and driver console covers. Our capabilities support both one-off prototypes and large production runs, ensuring cost-effective and high-quality results.
With our own tooling designs, precision CNC trimming, and finishing services such as painting and assembly. Our expertise makes sure that every part of what you need is tailored for strength, comfort, and longevity, helping to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency.
At APH3G, we offer a full range of vacuum-forming capabilities for public transport. We work with high-performance materials, including fire-retardant and impact-resistant plastics, ensuring we follow industry regulations.
Our companies tooling designs and manufacturing allow us to produce both cost-effective model board tools for short runs and durable aluminium tools for high-volume production. Using advanced 5-axis CNC trimming, we achieve precision and consistency across all components.
We also provide finishing services such as painting, assembly, and quality inspection to deliver ready-to-use parts. Whether for seating, interior panels, or driver consoles, our expertise ensures strong, lightweight, and long-lasting solutions for public transport applications.
Depending on the application of the end product APH3G can offer Vacuum formed components from the range of plastic materials listed below :
