Vacuum forming, drape forming and blow moulding specialists
Family-run vacuum forming, drape forming and blow moulding specialists in the West Midlands.
Trueform Plastics Limited was established in 1992 and is a family run business with over 49 years of experience in the vacuum forming, drape forming and blow moulding industry.
Vacuum forming uses atmospheric pressure to mould a wide range of thermoplastics onto a moulding tool to a specific shape and is then trimmed to the customer's exact requirements. Our extensive knowledge of tool design, combined with computer controlled machinery for accurate temperature control, enables us to deliver high specification products as individual items or complete assembled units.
Drape forming uses a single positive mould on which a heated sheet of plastic is placed. After softening, the sheet sags and conforms to the shape of the mould under its own weight or slight pressure, giving superior clarity for clear items. This process is ideally suited to display stands as well as car and boat screens.
Blow moulding is a process whereby a sheet of heated plastic, usually cast acrylic, is heated in a thermoforming oven. Once it reaches forming temperature it is placed into a clamping jig and air is blown into the sheet, causing it to form into a dome or other shape depending on the jig.
