Mould Material for Thermoforming and Vacuum Forming |
- METAPOR® micro-porous,
air-permeable aluminium delivers advanced solutions
for many thermo forming applications.
- METAPOR® eliminates the need to drill vacuum holes, expanding technical capabilities
of the thermoforming process at a lower cost.
- METAPOR® material has consistent porosity which offers unparalleled design flexibility
and new ways to optimize performance of thermoform tooling.

|
| Applications |
| Quick
prototype tooling with METAPOR® accelerates
product development and minimizes costly production
problems. For high production applications, METAPOR® cavities & inserts
are often used in conjunction with water-cooled
aluminium bases. |
| |
|
 |
Faster
Air Evacuation
Rapid and even air evacuation assures that the plastic remains within its temperature
formability window resulting in reduction of stresses and better mechanical properties. |
Unlimited Design Intricacy
Highly detailed moulds, engraved inserts, and other
intricate features are quickly produced with METAPOR®,
since there is no need to drill vacuum holes. |
|
|
 |
 |
High Definition & Accuracy
Even porosity on all surfaces of METAPOR® results
in extremely sharp definition and accuracy of formed
components without deformation. |
Flat Surfaces
METAPOR® is often used for large flat surfaces and
bottom inserts to eliminate trapped air and related
waviness. |
|
|
 |
|
Surface Quality
Absence of drilled vacuum holes, eliminates surface
imperfections on transparent and highly cosmetic
parts. |
