Thermoformed Plastics Market: Overview
A type of plastic created using the thermoforming method is thermoformed plastic. Thermoforming is a manufacturing process that entails heating a plastic sheet to a temperature that makes it malleable for shaping, molding, and trimming into a functional product. The sheet has been sufficiently cooked in an oven. When referring to thinner gauges and specific material types, it may be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a finished shape. It is simplified in vacuum shaping.
