Precision meets performance at 30,000 feet.

Did you know that vacuum forming is responsible for many of the touchpoints you see in a commercial cabin? From window reveals to protective sensor housings, thermoforming is the secret to lightweight, high-strength aerospace design.

Why aerospace manufacturers love it:
🔹 Extreme weight savings for better range.
🔹 Lower tooling costs than injection moulding.
🔹 Rapid design iterations.
🔹 High-performance polymers (like Kydex and Ultem) built for safety.

Whether it’s a drone or a jumbo jet, vacuum forming is helping shape the future of flight.

Check out our latest blog post to see how vacuum forming is taking aerospace to new heights.

We were thrilled to meet up with our customer Eschmann Textures at the K Show 2025, and to learn more about their Cerashell tool for the thermoforming process.

It's been created to save time and cost when creating tooling. Its porosity means its perfect for thermoforming and vacuum forming machines.

Eschmann Textures use our 508DT desktop vacuum forming machine for research and development.
