INS Technology Positive and Negative Pressure Thermoforming Machine

Positive and Negative Pressure Thermoforming Machine for Pre-Textured Decorative Plastic Sheets

This positive and negative pressure thermoforming machine is designed for forming decorative films used in automotive interior parts. It heats and shapes printed, textured, or laminated films into precise 3D forms, preparing them for trimming and subsequent insert molding or injection molding processes.

Key Features Include:

  • Precise 3D forming for automotive decorative films
  • Stable heating control for smooth film stretching
  • Suitable for ABS, ABS+PMMA, PC, and PMMA films
  • Reduces wrinkles, cracking, and pattern distortion
  • Supports wood grain, metal, carbon fiber, leather, glossy, and matte effects
  • Custom forming area, machine size, mold design, and automation level available

Film Insert Molding is a decorative molding process that combines a printed or textured film with an injection-molded plastic part. A pre-formed film insert is placed inside the injection mold, and molten plastic is injected behind the film to create a finished component with an integrated decorative surface.

This process is commonly used for automotive interior parts, home appliance panels, consumer electronics, and other plastic components that require high-quality surface decoration. It can create wood grain, metal texture, carbon fiber texture, leather texture, high-gloss, matte, and customized visual effects.

Compared with painting, spraying, or post-applied decoration, Film Insert Molding helps improve surface consistency, reduce secondary processing, and enhance durability. It is especially suitable for complex curved parts that require stable appearance, scratch resistance, and precise decoration.

This thermoforming machine is widely used for products that need durable and attractive decorative surfaces. In the automotive industry, it is commonly applied to dashboard trims, center console panels, door trims, air vent trims, and instrument panels with wood grain, metal, carbon fiber, leather, glossy, or matte effects. It is also suitable for home appliance panels, consumer electronics housings, smart switches, control panels, and industrial or medical equipment covers where stable appearance, scratch resistance, and long-term surface quality are important.

Four Optional Forming Modes for Flexible Production

The machine supports four forming modes to meet different mold structures, film directions, and demolding requirements. Customers can choose upper-frame or lower-frame film clamping, as well as upper-mold or lower-mold demolding. Vacuum and positive pressure can also be configured from different sides to match complex part shapes and production needs.

Forming Mode Film Clamping Frame Demolding Side Vacuum Direction Positive Pressure Direction
A Mode Lower frame Lower mold demolding Vacuum from lower mold Positive pressure from upper mold
B Mode Lower frame Upper mold demolding Vacuum from upper mold Positive pressure from lower mold
C Mode Upper frame Lower mold demolding Vacuum from lower mold Positive pressure from upper mold
D Mode Upper frame Upper mold demolding Vacuum from upper mold Positive pressure from lower mold
