How to extrude a chain of different hollow shapes.A novel extrusion process under development at HPM HPM High Power Microwave HPM Health and Productivity Management HPM Hyper Page Mode HPM Human Performance Modeling HPM High Pressure Mercury HPM Hazardous Production Material (1997 Uniform Fire Code) HPM Human Potential Movement in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, aims to compete with industrial blow molding. Called Continuous Vacuum Forming Vacuum forming, commonly known as Vacuforming, is a simplified version of thermoforming, whereby a sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto or into a single-surface mold, and held against the mold by applying vacuum between the mold surface and the (CVF (Compressed Volume File) See DOS DoubleSpace. ), it uses sequential mold blocks similar to corrugated-pipe tooling to vacuum form a continuous chain of hollow parts. CVF will use trimming/deflushing equipment being developed in a new partnership with Eagle Manufacturing Corp., Sterling Heights Sterling Heights, city (1990 pop. 117,810), Macomb co., SE Mich., on the Clinton River; platted 1835 as Jefferson Township, renamed 1838, inc. 1968. Largely rural until the mid-20th cent., the city grew as a suburb of Detroit, 19 mi (31 km) to the northeast. , Mich. Eagle's in-line deflasher will perform punching, cutting, or drilling. The system can be programmed to handle sequential production of a family of similar parts molded in different lengths: Parts with a common end can be made longer or shorter simply by adding or removing mold blocks.
