Thermoforming
Vacuum Forming Vacuum Forming is accomplished by heating the plastic sheet until it is pliable enough to be vacuumed either into a female mold or over a male mold. thermoforming.html

Pressure Forming Pressure Forming is nothing more than Vacuum Forming with pressure assist to the forming process to enable crisper detail and sharper features. Pressure Forming utilizes pressurized air to push the heated sheet into the cavity. Pressure formed parts can resemble the detail of injection molded parts at a fraction of the tooling cost. thermoforming.html
