Tool & Fixture Design

Five-axis CNC trimming produces parts with repeatable, close tolerances. There are several keys to achieve consistent and accurately trimmed parts. Most thermoformed parts are made of softer materials that react well to O-flute style tooling. For thermoforming, the most common choice has been single edge and double edge straight tools. Single edge tools typically feed the easiest and double edge tools will usually give a better finish and allow faster feed rates in the hands of an experienced operator. At Kaizen our expertise and experience comes very much handy in providing quality trimming.
