Abstract
This report covers solid-phase forming of plastic parts. These forming concepts involve the use of traditional metal working techniques which are new to the field of thermoplastic part production. Discussed are: the various solid-phase forming processes; thermoplastic materials suitable to these methods; part design; advantages and disadvantages of the processes; equipment and tooling requirements; processing effects on part properties; production economics and suggested applications suitable to these techniques.
