Paulson Adds Sheet-Fed Thermoforming to their World Class Library of Technical Training Courses
CHESTER, CT (August 2016) — Paulson’s recent training course, Thick Sheet Thermoforming is now available anywhere, anytime and on any device including a version offered on DVD. This in-depth, five-lesson, training course covers all aspects of the Thick Sheet thermoforming process, including how to quickly solve problems and how to best develop advanced troubleshooting skills. Many of the conditions that cause part defects are explained. Personnel taking this course will become knowledgeable of the process, the characteristics of thermoformed parts and the most common causes of part defects.
Thermoformers with a need to hone or advance their skills can now look to Paulson to learn the fundamentals of thermoforming whether they specialize in “Thin or Thick.” For example, if you are a Thermoformer manufacturing clam-shell container packaging then Paulson’s Thin Sheet thermoforming course is ideal and for those thermoformers processing plastic for larger parts like automotive components, Paulson’s newest Thick Sheet thermoforming course will show you how.

- Lesson 1 – Introduction: Plastics and the Thermoforming Process
- Lesson 2 – Properties of the Extruded Sheet
- Lesson 3 – Effective Heating of the Plastic Sheet
- Lesson 4 – Temperature Control, Vacuum and Pressure Systems
