Thermoforming Mold Designer

Vacuum / pressure sheet thermoforming & heat-press mold engineering toolkit

Process route

Typical thermoforming workflow, start to finish.

Material Database

Properties of common thermoforming sheets.

Mold Geometry

Shrinkage compensation, draft and corner radius.

Forming Force

Vacuum vs pressure forming force and clamp force.

Wall Thickness

Draw ratio and wall-thinning estimate.

Blank & Clamp

Blank size and clamp-frame dimensions.

Heating / Cycle

Heating time and energy estimate.

Cost Estimate

Material and rough mold cost.

Plug Assist

Plug dimensions and clearance to even out wall thickness on deep draws.

2D Schematic

Cross-section drawing export (PNG / SVG) for documentation and quoting.

Process Card

Printable multi-language process / technical card (save as PDF).

Multi-Cavity Layout

Cavity nesting / blank layout: parts per sheet, utilization and trim loss.

Cooling / Draft / Ejection

Cooling time, minimum draft angle and ejection force for demolding.

Mold Temp / Cooling Circuit

Water-circuit flow, velocity, Reynolds and pressure drop for mold cooling.

Cycle / Forming Window

Heating vs cooling vs forming time balance and the material forming window.

Trim / Gate Loss

Skeleton (trim) and gate/web scrap rate, material yield and cost per part.

Project BOM / Cost Rollup

Aggregates material, scrap, nesting and cycle into per-part cost and per-shift capacity.

Machine / Platen & Clamp

Checks blank footprint vs platen and clamp force vs machine rating.

Design Snapshot / Compare

Capture inputs from any module and compare two designs side by side.

Sheet Sag (Oven)

Gravity sag of a softened sheet during oven dwell, and compensation guidance.

Educational / preliminary engineering estimates.
