Thermoforming is widely used in manufacturing industries to produce large and labour-intensive products. Compared to other manufacturing techniques, thermoforming is a very efficient process that is suitable for high-efficiency mass production. In this paper, experimental thermoforming operations were carried out using a lab-scale, sheet-fed thermoformer. Carbon fibre reinforced PP and unreinforced PS thermoplastic sheets were used in the experimental thermoforming operations. The processing parameters were determined for each thermoformed material. Moreover, a simulation of the thermoforming process was performed using LS-DynaTM software. The thickness distributions obtained from the experiments were compared with the simulation results. The results show that the parameter that affects the wall thickness distribution the most is the geometry of clamping ring. To produce thermoformed products that have a more uniform thickness distribution, the clamping tool geometry must be selected according to the geometry of the product being thermoformed.
