Thermoformed, Routed, and 3D Printed Plastic Components

Creative Plastics International core competencies include vacuum thermoforming, pressure forming, CNC routing and machining, and 3D printing. These state-of-the-art techniques enable us to produce durable and reliable plastic components that meet the highest standards of quality.

Thermoforming, also referred to as vacuum forming is a method of manufacturing by preheating an extruded plastic sheet or moldable vinyl, draping it over a mold where vacuum is applied to achieve the desired shape. We utilize rotary, shuttle forming processes. The trimmed material is reground and recycled.

Pressure thermoforming is ideal for components that require crisp formed in detail such as labels, logos and printed areas or when a part needs to have various textures on the same surface. Another advantage is the ability to mold in undercuts. This type of forming uses compressed air in order to force the raw material against a mold.

CPI also precision cuts parts to size using CNC Routers. 5-axis CNC Routing is robotic trimming that generates a path for part trimming, milling and drilling. Complicated trim paths are not a issue when CAD files are used. High quality and tight tolerances can be maintained. CPI can trim three-dimensional formed parts as well as machine flat sheet plastics.

Creative Plastics International works with their sister company, Wurm's Woodworking Company, utilizing Mosaic 3D printers to increase flexibility in our prototyping and production workflows. Robotic feeding systems improve machine utilization rate, decreasing labor and material costs compared to traditional methods.
