Technoform™: Thermoformability Analysis Reinvented
What is Technoform?
Technoform™ is an advanced, patent-pending test system designed to replicate real-world thermoforming processes in a lab environment. Developed by Transmit Technology Group, it provides quantitative, repeatable data using minimal material—making it ideal for material R&D, quality control, and process optimization.
Why Use Technoform?
Technoform answers critical processing questions:
Will this material thermoform properly?
Will a new material or batch process like the last?
What’s the ideal sheet temperature and preheat time?
Can regrind be reused effectively?
Will the part discolor, tear, or deform?
Traditional tests fall short by focusing only on melt-phase behavior or using unrealistic sample shapes. Technoform simulates:
Sheet heating
3D stretching
Plug-assisted/vacuum forming
Controlled cooling
Core Advantages
✅ Realistic Simulation: Reflects all steps of actual thermoforming.
✅ Fast & Repeatable: Collect data in minutes with minimal material.
✅ Quantitative Outputs: Thermoformability index, force vs. depth, sag distance, shrinkage & more.
✅ Customizable Setup: Adjust plug type, speed, temperature, heating profile, and forming mode.
✅ Predictive Insights: Supports material selection, process tuning, and troubleshooting.
