thermoforming mold maker
YTC
thermoforming mold maker is apparently the first maker
of thermoforming molds to take advantage of
thermoforming mold maker modeling boards from YTC
Taiwan., we shape modeling as thermoforming mold maker
and have been using injection molding and metal casting
to machine dimensionally stable models, fixtures,
foundry patterns, and tooling that have high accuracy
and precise part definition.
Track record thermoforming mold maker
YTC produces thermoforming molds for deep-draw parts as
well as food trays, bowls, and other highly contoured
containers from PP, PE, PS, and polycarbonate. YTC has
been working with thermoforming mold maker for more than
two years to produce mold cavities for forming both
heavy-gauge sheet (up to 3/16 in.) and thin films. We
use the thermoforming mold maker Type 450 board (one of
a family of products with a range properties), which has
sufficient strength and heat resistance to withstand
numerous thermoforming cycles. It has a glass-transition
temperature of 205 F, Shore hardness of 65D, and tensile
strength of 2300 psi.
The 4-in.-thick boards come in sizes of 16 x 60 in.
thermoforming mold maker uses 103 adhesive to join
several boards into a solid block that we can then
machine into deep-draw molds using its standard
three-axis CNC milling equipment and tool bits. We have
made cavities with up to 24-in. depth of draw.
“The board helps us reduce delivery times and costs on
initial parts while hard tooling is being made,?says
YTC. “We can make a cavity for a heavy-gauge application
in three days versus two-weeks for an aluminum tool. And
we did it cheaper due to the shorter manufacturing
time.?We built a package of 15 prototype molds in a
two-week period for one customer and say it can make a
mold in as little as a day. “If it’s a small mold, say
12 x 12 in., and we have the specifications in the
morning, we can have the cavity done that evening?
