Mold and tool making with the help of plastic thermoforming

swissplast is your reliable partner when it comes to the construction of plastic parts for tool and mold making. We manufacture cost-effective, on-time and sustainable cladding parts, shuttering parts or frame parts for you from high-quality plastic. We rely on the thermoforming process, which, in contrast to injection molding, can be designed to be faster, cheaper and more versatile. We also offer detailed post-processing, such as milling or drilling, using our CNC-controlled, high-precision machines. The end result of each production process is a perfectly crafted plastic part that is ideal for your tool and can be fitted immediately. Feel free to contact our professionals for advice on mold making and toolmaking with plastic.

Thanks to deep drawing and thermoforming, we are hardly restricted in our production methods and can produce virtually any desired shape – naturally also in toolmaking with plastic and in mold making with plastic. In thermoforming, a rectangular plastic sheet is melted and made malleable by applying heat. It is pulled over a stencil part and the air is sucked out through small nozzles. This creates an ideal image of the positive template and requires less post-processing of the plastic part. Nevertheless, we are happy to use production steps such as CNC milling for the individualization of plastic parts in toolmaking, which allows us to refine the parts and prepare them for further processing.

swissplast stands for innovative plastics technology and precise production – this also applies to the plastic parts for tool and mold making division. On the one hand, we benefit from the diverse possibilities of thermoforming and, on the other, from our conviction that the best products are created through precise work. From the selection of plastics, to the planning of molded parts in mold construction, to the production of parts and their post-processing, we carry out each individual work step with care and perfection. In the end, our customers benefit from this and our plastic parts in toolmaking bear witness to the highest Swiss and German engineering skills. Let us convince you of our products and send us an inquiry with your project in the field of plastic parts toolmaking or plastic parts mould making.

Deep drawing offers enormous design possibilities for toolmaking, as it allows complex shapes and geometries to be produced economically and efficiently. In toolmaking, this creates particularly resilient and precise shapes that are ideal for the production of customized plastic parts. With deep drawing, material properties can be optimally utilized and wall thicknesses can be precisely controlled, which has a direct impact on the quality of the end products. This flexibility enables both prototype development and series production with consistently high accuracy and lower material usage.

Mechanical engineering is faced with the challenge of developing durable, precise and lightweight components that can withstand high loads. Plastic parts offer decisive advantages here, as they are stable and robust on the one hand and lightweight and cost-efficient on the other. Modern production techniques, such as thermoforming, allow plastic parts to be individually shaped and adapted to specific requirements. This facilitates integration into complex machine designs and helps to reduce energy consumption and production costs without compromising on quality.

swissplast offers a wide variety of plastic parts that can be manufactured in different materials and dimensions up to 3000 x 2000 mm. The materials available include ABS, PMMA, polycarbonate and other high-performance plastics that are suitable for various industrial applications. The production of these parts ranges from simple basic shapes to highly complex components that meet specific technical requirements. With flexible material and size options, swissplast can provide customized solutions for a wide range of industries.
