SERVICES
Pressure Forming Services
For the uninitiated, pressure forming is a process where the material is heated; air pressure is then applied to force the material into a female mold.

Case Studies See all >
Vacuum Thermoforming of Custom Seat Backs for the Aerospace Industry
The project highlighted here is for the fabrication of a custom seat back cover that was and is being used by Virgin America. Starting in 2004, one of the most challenging aspects of this particular seat back is the creation of the ultra-high gloss and brilliant white appearance.
Thermoforming of a Closeout for use in the Military Industry
The project highlighted here was a closeout part for unmanned drones used in the military. The part carried a high level of difficulty in the forming and the trimming operation and featured a severe undercut/trap on the mold.
Thermoforming of an Electronic Enclosure for the Electrical Industry
The project highlighted here was an electronic enclosure with EMI shielding designed for use in electrical testing. The customer supplied a 2D CAD drawing, and the part went through four complete design changes with small production runs done on each of the designs.
Thermoforming of Antenna Cover for use in the Telecommunications Industry
The project highlighted here is a radome, sometimes called a nose cover, for an antenna system used in the telecommunications industry. The customer supplied a 3D model of the antenna system along with a 2D CAD drawing.
Vacuum Thermoforming of an Advanced Medical Training Simulator
ACDET’s AbSim is an advanced medical training simulator that teaches student doctors and nurses how to perform a physical abdominal palpation exam.
