Matched Die Forming

In this process, both halves of the part are formed by molds with no vacuum or air pressure.  The sheet is heated until it is soft, and then both mold halves clamp together to form the part. Used with parts that do not have large draws.

Advantages

  • excellent definition and dimensional contol on both sides.
  • complexity
  • high tolerances
