- Forming Mold: in steel or aluminum, to thermoform aesthetic material (decor). The mold is water-cooled and form raw material already laminated and heated up with specific ovens.
- Cutting Tool: following project requirements, it can be done with cutting tool or with Water Jet technology, to cut all the contour of the cavity and to realize the internal holes.
- Foaming Mold: aluminum or steel mold, normally casted. Mold is heated up through heating elements or coils to assure the adequate flow of the foam.
- Checking Fixture: in resin (light) or in aluminum (full) to check dimensionally the component.
Foaming Technology
Foaming process with open mold or using an injection head.
For this kind of process casting is normally used to allow a correct temperature regulation with specific heating circuits.
Thermoforming Technology
Raw material is heated up and then formed with specific water-cooled mold.
In this kind of process, normally, the covering material is already laminated to the structure. Cut outs of the component can be done in a following step, accordingly to project requirements.
