If you’re still relying on a machine from the last century, now might be the perfect time to consider an upgrade.

Older machines, while reliable, often lack the sophisticated control systems found in modern Formech models. Our latest machines boast advanced digital controls, multi-zone heating, and precise temperature regulation. This translates to:

➡️ Tighter tolerances: Produce parts with incredibly accurate dimensions, essential for high-quality finished products.
➡️ Reduced waste: Consistent heating and forming minimise rejected parts due to inconsistencies or defects.
➡️ Repeatability: Achieve identical results run after run, crucial for maintaining product quality and meeting customer expectations.

Imagine the difference this precision could make to your bottom line and your reputation for quality.

Precision meets performance at 30,000 feet.

Did you know that vacuum forming is responsible for many of the touchpoints you see in a commercial cabin? From window reveals to protective sensor housings, thermoforming is the secret to lightweight, high-strength aerospace design.

Why aerospace manufacturers love it:
🔹 Extreme weight savings for better range.
🔹 Lower tooling costs than injection moulding.
🔹 Rapid design iterations.
🔹 High-performance polymers (like Kydex and Ultem) built for safety.

Whether it’s a drone or a jumbo jet, vacuum forming is helping shape the future of flight.

Check out our latest blog post to see how vacuum forming is taking aerospace to new heights.
