GravoLAB Technologies
At GravoLAB we combine the latest machining and design technologies to build thermoforming tools that are efficient, accurate and reliable. Every tool we deliver is proven, tested and calibrated.
We use state-of-the-art CNC machining centers with 3, 4 and 5-axis milling, wire-cut EDM, water-jet cutting, gun-drilling, precision surface grinding and a complete range of supporting equipment.
All tooling components are manufactured in-house at GravoLAB and inspected by our dedicated Quality Control department.
Rapid prototyping is a key part of our process.
Every project begins with production-quality thermoforming samples — primarily in PET, and also in OPS, PS and PP.
We carry out Thermovision inspections and a full range of water-flow tests to ensure each tool is not only efficient but also high-speed.
CNC-machined knife sets are produced and inspected by GravoLAB engineers. Cutting tests are performed on a dedicated contact-heat machine with a 760 x 540 mm working area, under visual and microscopic inspection, with results recorded on video and archived for 12 months.
Every tool is tested in our laboratory on a full-size, high-pressure thermoforming machine. We run a complete test program across PP, PET, PS and OPS — frequently using the customer’s own sheet — to match the finished part as closely as possible to the customer’s local conditions.
Our engineers then commission the tooling on-site at the customer’s facility.
