Deep drawing

Vacuum thermoforming is a simple and cost-effective way of forming plastic in small batches to give your product optimum functionality and the highest surface quality.

Thanks to the up to 90 percent lower tool costs, the thermoforming process gives your product a decisive cost advantage over injection molding.

What sets our thermoforming process apart

Special surfaces
Uniquely textured surfaces

The texture on thermoformed plastic parts is KVH’s specialty.
We can provide your component with a fine or coarse texture as required.
Ask us for a sample.

Component size
As small and large as possible

With our universal automatic machines, it is possible to deep-draw tools with a size of 180 mm x 220 mm up to 2940 mm x 1440 mm and a tool height of 770 mm.

KVH-Bauteilgrößen
Wide range of materials
Material individually tailored to the requirements

KVH processes all common thermoplastics such as ABS, ASA, PC, PE, PET, PMMA, PS, PP, PVC in thicknesses from 0.1 mm to 10 mm.

It is also possible to equip certain materials with flame protection or to use combinations of materials to achieve UV protection or greater stability.

There are no limits to the color space; any material can be dyed according to your wishes.

Each project has its own individually tailored material, let us advise you.
