Vacuum / pressure sheet thermoforming & heat-press mold engineering toolkit
Typical thermoforming workflow, start to finish.
Properties of common thermoforming sheets.
Shrinkage compensation, draft and corner radius.
Vacuum vs pressure forming force and clamp force.
Draw ratio and wall-thinning estimate.
Blank size and clamp-frame dimensions.
Heating time and energy estimate.
Material and rough mold cost.
Plug dimensions and clearance to even out wall thickness on deep draws.
Cross-section drawing export (PNG / SVG) for documentation and quoting.
Printable multi-language process / technical card (save as PDF).
Cavity nesting / blank layout: parts per sheet, utilization and trim loss.
Cooling time, minimum draft angle and ejection force for demolding.
Water-circuit flow, velocity, Reynolds and pressure drop for mold cooling.
Heating vs cooling vs forming time balance and the material forming window.
Skeleton (trim) and gate/web scrap rate, material yield and cost per part.
Aggregates material, scrap, nesting and cycle into per-part cost and per-shift capacity.
Checks blank footprint vs platen and clamp force vs machine rating.
Capture inputs from any module and compare two designs side by side.
Gravity sag of a softened sheet during oven dwell, and compensation guidance.
