Use Pressure Forming when you are looking for the appearance of an injection molded or structural foam part with a fraction of the tooling cost.
Pressure forming is ideal when:
You want to achieve sharp, crisp, formed in features such as logos, label recesses or molded in texture
You want to mold in undercuts or have zero draft
You have a deep part and want even material distribution
You want the outside surface of the part to be highly cosmetic
You want to have multiple textures or smooth areas on the same part
Common pressure formed materials are ABS, Acrylic PVC, Polycarbonate, and other thermoplastic materials. Typical volumes are high hundreds to high thousands.
