Forming: a mini-compendium of developments. (Equipment & Applications)
Before we leave "older" forming techniques, it's worth noting that there is still development work continuing in cylinder forming.

The platen maintains constant pressure, resulting in consistent forming shot-to shot and run-to run, says Schrieffer.
High-precision thermoforming: it's putting the 'pressure' on injection molding
While vacuum forming used only atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) to force molten sheet into the contours of the mold, pressure forming used compressed air (20 to 50 psi) to do the same.

Corrugator vacuum forming of discrete parts is known to be practiced by only a few dozen processors globally.

Applications: Heavy-gauge forming, including Class-A and TPO parts
Thermoforming machines
Among other thin-gauge packaging exhibits to appear at NPE, Canada's GN Plastics plans to demonstrate what it calls "dual-mold forming." This patented system employs two molds that alternately swing back and forth between forming and parts-removal stations, creating a system that gets the productivity benefits of two molds while requiring just one trim station.
Thermoforming. (What to See at NPE 2003)
the 40% scrap rate typical for roll-fed sheet forming. The process bears some similarities to a "scrapless" forming method developed decades ago by Dow Plastics, in which barrier sheet is punched into squares that are impact-formed and then drawn into molds.
