The machine (large size) is an industrial thermoforming machine, for medium and large series and generously sized parts, when you need a thermoforming machine with a large working area. It forms acrylic, ABS, PVC, PET, PU leather and other materials.
With quartz tubes, a honeycomb platform and a blow-suction function, this thermoforming machine combines a quality finish with a format able to cover large panels and housings, on a single mould.
• 3D forming from a single sheet, a MECVORA thermoforming machine heats the thermoplastic sheet and draws it under vacuum onto the mould, reproducing the shape faithfully with identical results every cycle.
• Even heating, quartz tubes spread the heat evenly across the whole surface, soften the material without local deformation and shorten the cycle time.
• Single-mould economy, one mould is enough to form the part, which lowers tooling costs and production setup time.
• Blow function, blowing assists demoulding and enables spherical or domed shapes, widening the range of parts you can make on one machine.
• Multiple thermoplastics, it forms acrylic, ABS, PVC, PET and more, from sign faces and signage to packaging, trays and shells.
• Quality finish, the platform and pressing frame keep the sheet flat and sealed during forming, for smooth surfaces and precise edges.
• Large format, intended for large parts and panels, for medium and large series, where standard formats fall short.
• Includes PU leather, besides thermoplastics, it also forms PU leather wraps, useful for upholstery and component wrapping.
• Superior finish, the honeycomb platform and even quartz-tube heating give smooth surfaces even on large parts.

Vacuum forming runs a simple, repeatable cycle: the thermoplastic sheet is clamped in the frame, heated until soft, then placed over the mould, where the vacuum draws it tightly onto the shape. After cooling, the part keeps the mould geometry, ready to be removed.
The quality of the result depends on even heating and a good sheet seal. A MECVORA thermoforming machine uses even heating and a well-sealed pressing frame, so the surface comes out smooth and the mould details are reproduced faithfully, from sign faces to technical parts.
The cycle time depends on the material, the sheet thickness and the depth of the shape: thicker materials need longer heating, and deep shapes a more sustained vacuum pull. Once the recipe for a given product is set, it repeats identically, which makes the process predictable and easy to plan in series production.
In signage, the large-format machine forms light box faces, panels and 3D signs of large size, from acrylic and other thermoplastics.
In industry and automotive, the machine makes large housings, covers and shells, trays and moulds for concrete or plaster, including PU-leather wrapping of components.
For medium and large series, the generous format reduces the number of cycles needed, raising productivity on repetitive parts.
The machine meets the requirements applicable to industrial equipment placed on the EU market, in line with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. See also our range of vacuum forming machines for other configurations.
The large-format machine forms thermoplastics and PU leather, for large parts and repetitive series:
| Material | Details / notes |
|---|---|
| Acrylic (PMMA) | clear, for signage |
| ABS | impact-resistant, housings |
| PVC | rigid, panels and signs |
| PET | packaging and blisters |
| PS / PE / PP | trays, shells, packaging |
| PU leather | upholstery and wrapping |
The workflow on a MECVORA thermoforming machine is simple and repeatable, from sheet to finished part:
1. Fix the mould on the platform and clamp the thermoplastic sheet in the pressing frame.
2. Set the heating temperature and time to suit acrylic, ABS, PVC and PET and the sheet thickness.
3. The quartz heaters soften the sheet evenly until it is pliable across the whole surface.
4. The sheet is placed over the mould and the vacuum draws it tightly onto the shape; blowing assists domed parts.
5. After cooling, the formed part is removed from the mould, ready for trimming, assembly or finishing.
The result of a thermoformed part depends on the mould and on how the sheet is pressed and removed. The pressing frame, with a sealing gasket, adjusts to different sizes and shapes, and several designs can be formed at once on the same sheet, saving material and time.
The blow function eases demoulding and enables domed or spherical shapes that are hard to get otherwise. With a single mould, hand-carved or machined, a thermoforming machine makes flat, raised, multi-layer or curved parts, which makes it versatile for signage, packaging and technical parts.
The forming height and the working area decide which parts you can make: a large height allows deep shapes, and a generous area covers big sign faces and panels. With the right platform and saved recipes, you switch quickly from one part type to another, with minimal material waste.
After forming, the parts are trimmed to the contour and finished according to the application: sign faces are cut to size, and technical parts are adjusted for assembly. Bringing thermoforming in-house shortens the production chain and gives you full control over the final quality of every part.
A thermoforming machine is a long-term investment, and UZINEX treats it as one. We arrange transport of the machine across Europe together with the required technical documentation, and we handle commissioning at your premises so production starts without delays or improvisation.
After installation we train your operators directly on your own machine, from the first settings on material to fine-tuning each working recipe. We stay available for service, spare parts, consumables and technical support throughout the machine's working life.
Outsourcing production means longer lead times, margins shared with subcontractors and dependence on their availability. Bringing the work in-house, onto a thermoforming machine, changes the equation: you control the deadline, the quality and the cost of every order, and the profit stays entirely with you.
For firms with a steady order flow, such a machine pays back quickly through the number of parts produced in-house, plus the new orders you can take on without depending on an outside supplier. The UZINEX team helps you estimate the right volume and configuration for your case.
A production machine has to be easy to maintain to stay productive. Routine tasks, checking the heating elements, cleaning the working surfaces and verifying the protection systems, are simple and quick, and wear parts are replaced without complex intervention.
UZINEX supplies spare parts, consumables and technical support throughout the machine's life, so a well-maintained thermoforming machine runs for years with the same precision. A simple maintenance plan reduces unplanned downtime and protects the investment.

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
