Forming

DuraTech creates custom solutions for forming

Forming is a turnkey product

From a flat applique to a formed and trimmed part, DuraTech Industries® has the turnkey graphic product for those who want one source for their complex 3D IMD projects.

Precise process control

The high pressure forming process is a hybrid of vacuum forming, thermo forming, and hydro forming. The equipment has the ability to hold the tightest registration tolerance on graphic placement that is repeatable part to part, run to run.

The dedicated line of registration hole punching, forming and trimming equipment ensures that the most streamlined processes are being used to control costs and expedite production.

DuraTech Industries® works closely with product development specialists on all tooling in the prototype stage so when product development is complete you can be assured of a successful production run.

The process is ideal for automotive gauge clusters, consumer electronics and appliances including parts that have transparent windows or graphics, as well as other applications requiring tight graphic registration.
