TECHNOLOGY OF THERMOFORMING
Technology of Thermoforming is a valuable resource tool for both the novice and the experienced in this field. Since modern thermoforming practice requires a balance between practical experience and the application of engineering and computational principles, this new handbook provides plastics engineers with an up-to-date source in both areas using a simple approach to more technical, in-depth information with examples and guidelines to illustrate key points. Easy-to-read and follow, the chapters highlight areas of interest such as: history, market information, and a glossary of definitions; important new information on infrared energy absorption; guidelines for determining heating cycles; a new section on computer-generated prediction of sheet temperature and new material on computer-generated mold temperature prediction; extrusion; and a sheet quality checklist.
