Tough-to-Produce Parts Made Easy

From Auburn Vacuum Forming Co., Inc.
 

 

Located in Upstate New York, Auburn Vacuum Forming Co. is a manufacturer of vacuum or pressure-formed plastic parts for mid-size and larger companies serving the general industrial, medical, and transportation markets. Their fourty person staff is supported with in-house services including computer-aided-design, pattern, mold, and fixture construction.

Auburn had to figure out how to trim small or large parts from thermoformed-plastic sheets quickly and accurately, and produce molded parts productively.
