In this video, we explain pressure thermoforming, a high-detail plastic forming process used when parts require sharp, crisp features and premium surface finishes that closely resemble injection molding.

At Om Raj Tech, we partner with Formed Solutions Inc to produce Made in USA pressure-formed plastic parts, manufactured entirely in Michigan.

How aluminum, textured molds deliver consistent, injection-mold-like finishes

🔹 Pressure Thermoforming Process Overview

In pressure thermoforming, a heated plastic sheet is pulled into a cavity aluminum mold using vacuum. A pressure box seals against the sheet and applies positive air pressure up to 80 PSI, pushing the material into the mold to capture sharp corners, fine textures, and tight radii.

This process creates parts that look and feel similar to injection molded components, without the high tooling cost.

🔹 Typical Pressure Thermoforming Applications

Medical enclosures and housings

Cosmetic plastic parts requiring Class-A surfaces

Prototypes for IPs, dashboards, and control panels

Polycarbonate and thick-gauge plastic parts

Pressure thermoforming is often the preferred process when aesthetics, surface texture, and detail are critical.

🔹 Why Choose Pressure Thermoforming?

Injection-mold-like appearance

Lower tooling cost than injection molding

Excellent for low-to-medium volumes

Tight tolerances and consistent finishes

Manufactured in the USA
