Frequently Asked Questions
What types of thermoformers does Meadoworks carry?
We stock inline thermoformers, cut-sheet machines, pressure formers, and vacuum formers from Brown Machine, Sencorp, Illig, Kiefel, GN Thermoforming, and other manufacturers. Machines range from single-station units to high-speed inline systems with integrated trimming.
What materials can be thermoformed?
Thermoforming works with most thermoplastic sheet materials including PET, HIPS, PP, ABS, HDPE, PVC, and specialty materials like PETG and polycarbonate. Material choice depends on your product requirements for clarity, impact resistance, temperature tolerance, and food contact compliance.
How do I choose between vacuum and pressure forming?
Vacuum forming uses atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) to shape material—suitable for shallow draws and less detailed parts. Pressure forming adds positive air pressure (up to 100+ psi) for sharper detail, tighter radii, and undercuts. Pressure forming produces injection mold-like appearance at lower tooling cost.
