Description
The rapid growth of the thermoforming industry
has attracted the interest of many plastic product manufacturers who would normally consider the thermoforming process as competition to their currently employed process, such as injection
molders and blow molders.
This primer is designed for those readers who
are not yet familiar with thermoforming technology. Extensive formal technical background is not
required!
