ThermoFab Unveils Free Thermoforming Design Guide
Design Guide's Mission is to Help Customers Design for Manufacturing and Faster Time-to-Market
Shirley, MA (PRWEB) October 29, 2009
ThermoFab, a manufacturer of custom plastic enclosures, unveiled its free thermoforming Design Guide today, available for download on its website. Topics covered include design basics for thermoforming, custom design considerations, tooling design, hardware considerations, finish considerations, EMI Shielding, and quality assurance.
The philosophy behind the Design Guide's creation is simple: to help customers design products for manufacturing so they can achieve a faster time-to-market (TTM). Tom King, president of ThermoFab, said, "We understand how much blood, sweat, and tears go into product design, development, and manufacturing. But it all starts with a great design. Of course, if that great design isn't feasible from a manufacturing standpoint, it delays the whole process. Our goal is to provide detailed information on how to design for manufacturing success the first time around."
ThermoFab has numerous customers nationwide with expertise in medical, computer, and industrial projects. The company continues to have strong partnerships with industrial and product design firms who look to ThermoFab for expertise in plastics manufacturing as one component of an overall production process.
