Advantages of thermoforming: Suitable for simple, high-volume processes: Thermoforming is ideal for largeproduction batches due to its efficiency and the ability to rapidly produce large quantitiesof parts. This process allows for consistent quality and fast cycle times, which is essential for meeting high demand. Design flexibility: If changes to the design are necessary, thermoforming molds can be quickly and easily changed, without high costs. Quick setup: As thermoforming tends to be used for simpler designs than other methods, such as injection molding, new molds can be created quickly. This allows for quick prototyping and the fast start of production runs. High product quality: Vacuum ensures an even plastic distribution in the mold with no air bubbles. Disadvantages of thermoforming: Lower precision: Compared to methods like injection molding, thermoformed plastics cannot carry as much detail and are therefore less suitable for small and intricate designs. Waste generation: Thermoforming often results in higher amounts of excess material, as the finished designs need to be trimmed.
