Telecommunications Thermoforming Company
Transform telecommunications seamlessly with advanced thermoforming and injection molding solutions, ensuring connectivity and reliability.
Custom Plastic Solutions for the Telecom Industry
To maintain large data centers and complex networks of complicated wiring systems and equipment, it’s necessary to keep the components and systems neat and organized. That’s where Advanced Plastiform, Inc. comes in.
Our telecommunications thermoforming company specializes in creating the custom plastics needed to easily house, rearrange, upgrade, and repair complicated telecom networks.
Thermoforming for the Telecommunications Sector
To create the durable plastics used in telecommunications, our thermoforming experts use a variety of methods to create custom plastic parts and components for the telecom industry.
Thermoforming for telecommunications involves taking large sheets of plastic, often over four feet long by four feet wide or larger, and heating them until soft and pliable. The malleable plastic is then pressed into a tool specifically designed by the engineering team at our telecommunications thermoforming company, and cast from cost-effective aluminum.
Once the plastic sheet is fitted to the tool, we use one of three forming methods to ensure the shape and detailing of the plastic is made to the exact specifications of the design. These teleforming methods are: vacuum forming, pressure forming, and twin sheet forming.
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming occurs when a high-powered vacuum removes all the air between the sheet of plastic and the aluminum mold, creating a tight fit with defined impressions, curves, and bends where necessary. This method can be done much faster than other forming methods, ensuring quick turnaround times.
The low pressure of vacuum forming also allows us to reduce the cost of materials, making this a cost-effective method of production for telecommunication plastic products that don’t require sharp angles and crisp detailing.
Pressure Forming
Pressure forming combines the use of highly pressurized air to press the plastic firmly against the tool while vacuum pressure removes interior air. Using three times the pressure of traditional vacuum thermoforming, this method creates a very clearly defined plastic product with sharp angles, clean lines, and pronounced detailing.
Pressure forming is becoming more common in creating plastics used in telecommunications because it can match the more intricate features often found in injection molding. However, unlike injection molding, pressure forming works well for large pieces and is often a much faster and less expensive process when comparing the two methods.
Twin Sheet Forming
Twin sheet forming is the most complex of the forming methods used in telecommunication product creation. It is done by heating two adjacent sheets of plastic, fitting them to the tool, and then fusing the two pieces together.
With this method, there is no room for any kind of error as the pieces have to be in perfect alignment in order to fuse seamlessly. Twin sheet forming allows hot air to be trapped within the two sheets, and if not cooled correctly, the plastic can collapse.
