Thermoforming for vehicles
Thermoforming is an important process in the automotive industry that is used to produce a variety of vehicle components. This technique enables plastics to be shaped by heating and then being shaped and drawn into the desired form. In vehicle production, thermoforming is often used to produce interior panels, dashboards, door panels and other interior parts.
Thermoformed parts offer a number of advantages for automotive manufacturers, including lower production costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods such as injection molding. Additionally, they are lighter and can be manufactured in different colors and surface textures depending on design requirements. This flexibility allows manufacturers to develop tailored solutions that meet the aesthetic and functional requirements of their vehicles.
Overall, thermoforming plays an important role in vehicle manufacturing by providing a cost-effective and versatile solution for the production of interior panels and other interior components. Through continued innovation and advances in technology, this process is expected to continue to make a significant contribution to the development of high-quality and attractive vehicle interiors.
Interior and exterior formwork parts for a street cleaning vehicle. Thermoformed parts UV-resistant and coloured in the desired colour. Equipped with additional parts and delivered as ready-to-install modules.
Wheel housing of a line bus. Thermoformed and CNC milled, ready for installation. Replaces a multi-part metal part.
The ceiling cladding of a city bus with two integrated ventilation channels. Multi-part thermoformed and CNC-milled, assembled from 15 individual parts to form a ready-to-install assembly.
Rear light cladding on a public bus. Thermoformed from a heat-resistant thermoplastic with two undercuts (without loose parts), CNC-milled, equipped with mounting plates for the lights.
Ventilation parts for the automotive sector. From different materials (in the area of research and development). Twin sheet formed and CNC milled. In this case from a very light, flame-retardant PE foam.
