What are the design considerations for vacuum forming plastic trays?
When designing vacuum-formed plastic trays, several key factors must be considered to ensure functionality and manufacturability. These include the draft angles (to facilitate removal from the mold), wall thickness uniformity (to prevent warping or weak spots), and the inclusion of features like ribs or gussets to enhance strength and rigidity.
