What is a Vacuum Forming Mold?

A vacuum forming mold is a tool used in the vacuum forming process, where a sheet of plastic is heated until pliable, then draped over a mold and vacuumed tightly against it to form the desired shape. These molds can be made from various materials, including resin and fiberglass, depending on the specific requirements of the project. The choice of material impacts the mold’s durability, detail, and suitability for different production volumes.

Vacuum forming molds are essential for creating precise and consistent products. They are particularly valued for their ability to reproduce intricate details and complex geometries with high accuracy.

Creating a vacuum forming mold is a meticulous process that blends craftsmanship with advanced technology. At Prestige Tooling, we utilize state-of-the-art CNC machining to produce molds that meet the highest standards of precision.
