THERMOFORMING ++ SOLUTIONS for Automotive Industry

Passenger Vehicles (PV) | Commercial Vehicles (CV) | Agriculture Equipment | Off-Highway Equipment | Busses | Tractor | Trucks | Trains | Aerospace Interiors

Thermoforming ++ processes use thermoforming technology to achieve unique parts where aesthetics or lightweight or strength are to be archived. Injection moulded parts can be decorated and Glass Fibre parts can be replaced with thermoforming ++ technologies mainly in the automotive industry

Artificial Leather Lamination for Soft Feel
Process: IMG-S / IMG-L / Vacuum Lamination

Automotive Interior parts such as instrument panels, door panels, IP-mid panels, DP-topper, arm-rests, A/B pillars

Machinecraft has partnered with FRIMO Freilassing - and has the know-how to build thermoforming machines capable of laminating hard injection moulded plastic with soft feel artificial leather using the vacuum lamination, IMG-S & IMG-L process.

Speciality Film Lamination for Deco Feel
Process: DVT / TOM / neo-TOM

Automotive Interior parts such as instrument panels, door panels, IP-mid panels, DP-topper, arm-rests, A/B pillars

Machinecraft has partnered with FVF Japan & has the know-how to build thermoforming machines capable of laminating hard injection moulded plastic or metal surface with speciality metallic / wooden films using DVT /TOM / neo-TOM process.

Back Foaming for light-weight parts with high-strength
Process: SSRIM / LFI

Agriculture Equipment & Off-Highway Vehicle parts like the Engine Hood, Sunroof & Fenders

Machinecraft has partnered with FRIMO Lotte to provide complete set-up for technologies like SRIM and LFI. A-surface can be ABS/PMMA high-gloss or ASA matt - UV resistant, typically 2 to 4 mm thick for aesthetics - made using the thermoforming process and B-surface can be PU for reduction of vibrations, reduction of acoustic noise, mechanical reenforcing and adding integrative functions.

Light Weight Paper Honeycomb core parts
Process: WCM

Automotive Industry - BIW parts & Lightweight Canopy of off-roading vehicles

Machinecraft has partnered with FRIMO Sontra to provide complete set-up for technology of Wet Compression Moulding - which is basically a cheaper variant of RTM process. A-surface can be ABS/PMMA high-gloss or ASA matt - UV resistant, typically 2 to 4 mm thick for aesthetics - made using thermoforming process and B-surface can be sandwich core made of stack of glass fiber + paper honeycomb on which resin is sprayed and then pressed in a high tonnage press. The parts have better NVH, are lightweight and can have integrative functions such as metallic inserts.
