Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet, or `film` when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that it can be stretched into .....
