Synopses & Reviews
For novices and practicing engineers, Throne introduces the process of thermoforming, its tools and machinery, and commonly used materials. This edition also discusses process monitoring and control, quality assurance, safety, and competitiveness with other processes. Chapters have been rearranged to focus on mechanics first, followed by a discussion on the nature of polymers. A new chapter on comparing thermoforming to other technologies such as blow molding, rotational molding, and injection molding has been added, in addition to equations, which are for illustration only.
Synopsis
Modern thermoforming practice is a balance of practical experience and the application of engineering principles. This very practical book introduces the process, its tools and machinery, and the commonly used materials to novices and practicing engineers alike.
