- Extension of the own product range, expansion of the target audience and increase in sales.
- High productivity increase and process acceleration through flexible prototyping without set-up times.
- The possibility of wage work for other companies due to the service extension.
- Cost reduction through more economical use of materials due to adjustable forming frames.
- Safety in production through the use of a high-quality and proven system.
Thermoforming of plastics
With the possibility to thermoform plastics, companies receive an enormously versatile application, which can be used extremely profitably. On the one hand, high-quality prototypes can be produced, on the other hand, single and series products for numerous fields of application, made of many different plastic materials can be produced in a very short time. Thanks to Columbus' innovative technology, this application is extremely material-efficient.
