Thermoforming or Rotational Molding: Which is right for your project?

THERMOFORMING

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process during which a heated, malleable plastic sheet is shaped on or within a mold, then trimmed to create a usable product. Thin-gauge plastics are typically molded in this way for the medical, food and retail industries, producing items like: disposable cups, blister packs, cartons, trays, containers and lids. These are normally formed on roll feed continuous forming equipment from sheet below .080. Heavier Items like vehicle door and dashboard panels, refrigerator components and truck bed liners are produced through the forming of thick-gauge plastics up to .500 starting gauge. Thermoforming is often used for sample and prototype plastic parts.

We’ve included a gallery of sample Du-Call Miller thermoformed plastics below – clicking each photo will provide a larger display. Feel free to explore and to contact us with any questions:

ROTATIONAL MOLDING

During the rotational molding process, a plastic powder (comparable in texture to sugar) is tumbled in a heated mold to produce detailed plastic shapes. A similar procedure, rotocasting (also known as “rotacasting”), utilizes this same technique, but with self-curing resins in an unheated mold.

Used to produce anything from large chemical tanks to smaller items like doll heads and medical displays (i.e. the model teeth, hearts or other internal organs displayed on a doctor’s counter), rotational molding and rotocasting are most often utilized for low-volume, highly specialized orders.

Examples of our rotocast work can be found in the gallery below. You’re welcome to browse, then contact us for any information you may need.
