ENGINEERING STARTS WITH YOUR PRODUCT
Every part has a shape.
Every process has a solution.
We configure Makser thermoforming machines around the part you want to produce. Sheet size, material, mould depth and output targets guide the choice of working area, heating arrangement and automation.
Heating suited to your material
A heating arrangement planned around the sheet material and mould geometry.
Configured for your product
Working area, mould movement and automation options defined around your application.
Support throughout production
Makser support from machine selection, installation and operator training to technical service and spare parts.

APPLICATIONS
One sheet.
Many possibilities.
Vacuum thermoforming for technical components, functional surfaces and new product designs.
Material suitability is assessed alongside sheet grade, thickness, mould geometry and sample trials.
Automotive
Interior trim components, protective trays and plastic covers.
Machinery and equipment
Technical enclosures, covers and moulded body components.
Kitchen and furniture
Drawer inserts, cutlery trays and plastic organisers.
Luggage and transport
Hard-shell luggage parts and protective transport components.
Industrial trays
Trays for carrying, positioning and organising parts.
Product development
New mould designs, prototypes and sample production.
THE FORMING PROCESS
Heat. Form. Produce.
Prepare
Position the mould, load the sheet into the frame and secure it.
Heat
Bring the sheet to the forming conditions required by the material.
Vacuum form
Draw the softened sheet against the mould to create the part geometry.
Cool
Cool the part, release it from the mould and prepare it for finishing.
Edge cutting, drilling, trimming and assembly are planned as subsequent operations to suit the product design.
CONFIGURED FOR YOUR APPLICATION
Build the right setup for your production.
The right choice starts with your product. Together, we define the technical scope around your material, part and output targets.
Working area
Selected according to sheet dimensions, mould height and part geometry.
Heating system
Project options include zoned heating, SSR control and lower heating.
Forming and movement
Vacuum, pre-stretching and lifting arrangements are assessed for the application.
Automation
Loading, cycle control and production line integration are planned to suit your needs.
These are project configuration options; they are not all included as standard equipment.
FOR FORMED DOOR SKINS
DoorFormer
Explore DoorFormer solutions for producing formed door skins from thermoformable PVC, WPC composite and ABS sheets.
Bonding the skins to the door core and installing hardware are subsequent manufacturing stages.

QUICK ANSWERS
Your questions, answered.
How is thermoforming different from PVC foil lamination?
Thermoforming heats a plastic sheet, shapes it against a mould and releases the formed part. PVC foil lamination bonds a decorative film to a prepared MDF surface using a suitable adhesive system.
What sheet thicknesses can be processed?
There is no single thickness range for every application. Material grade, sheet thickness, mould depth and part geometry are assessed together, with suitable parameters established through sample trials.
How is daily output determined?
Heating and cooling time, mould layout, parts per cycle and loading time are considered together. Output is planned using a cycle study for the target product.
What do you need to prepare a quotation?
A product image or technical drawing, sheet material and thickness, sheet dimensions, mould height and your target daily output provide a useful starting point.
