Vacuum Forming

At Cornelius Electronics, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier vacuum and thermo forming services to meet the diverse needs of industries across the UK and beyond. With over three decades of experience in vacuum thermoformed mouldings, we have established ourselves as a leader in the field.

Our state-of-the-art 5,000 square feet forming facilities house an impressive array of large and mid-format vac-form machines, capable of handling forming areas ranging from 800mm to 2000mm. This extensive capacity allows us to tackle projects of various scales, from small components to large industrial parts.

Our vacuum forming process involves heating a sheet of plastic until it becomes pliable, then using vacuum pressure to shape it over a mould. This versatile technique allows for the creation of complex shapes and designs, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether you need prototypes, short production runs, or high-volume manufacturing, our vacuum forming services can accommodate your requirements.

Thermo forming, a closely related process, involves heating plastic sheets to a pliable forming temperature, shaping them to a specific mould using pressure, and trimming them to create usable products. Our expert team excels in both vacuum and thermo forming techniques, ensuring that we can provide the most suitable solution for your project.

Our dedicated team of operators is skilled in handling materials ranging from 1mm to 10mm in thickness, allowing us to cater to a broad spectrum of product specifications.
