What is the minimum order quantity for vacuum forming?

DitaiPlastic has no minimum order quantity (No MOQ). We produce from 1 prototype to 100,000+ units in the same factory, using the same quality standards.

What is your largest vacuum forming size?

Our maximum forming size is 5000mm x 2500mm x 1000mm (5m x 2.5m x 1m), making us one of the largest-capacity thermoforming manufacturers in China.

What certifications does DitaiPlastic hold?

DitaiPlastic holds IATF 16949 (automotive quality), ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental), and ISO 45001:2018 (health & safety) certifications.

How long does thermoforming tooling take?

Our fastest tooling lead time is 7 days from approved drawings to first article samples. Standard tooling takes 2-3 weeks depending on complexity. All tooling is made in-house.

What materials can DitaiPlastic thermoform?

We work with ABS, PC (polycarbonate), PETG, HDPE, PP, ASA, acrylic (PMMA), and specialty materials. Sheet thickness is material- and geometry-dependent. Final starting gauge is confirmed during DFM review.

Do you offer DFM review?

Yes, free DFM (Design for Manufacturability) review is included with every quote. Our engineers review your drawings for draft angles, wall thickness, undercuts, and material selection before committing to tooling.

Can DitaiPlastic handle confidential OEM projects?

Yes. NDA agreements are available. As an end-to-end manufacturer with in-house tooling, all production stays within our facility — no outsourcing of tooling or production to third parties.

Which industries does DitaiPlastic serve?

We serve automotive (IATF 16949 certified), EV/electric vehicles, medical devices, luxury retail (Guerlain), electronics (Wistron, Hisense, Foxconn), robotics/AGV, industrial equipment, and packaging industries.

How fast will I get my thermoforming quote?

An engineer replies within 24 hours — usually within a few working hours — with a free DFM review, material recommendation, tooling cost, unit price by quantity, and lead time.

What file formats can I send for a quote?

STEP, IGS, STL, DXF, PDF, or ZIP. Without a CAD file, photos and dimensions or a written description are enough for an engineer to start the DFM review.

// QUOTE FAQ

Questions buyers ask before requesting a quote

Straight answers with real numbers — the same facts our engineers work from.

How much does thermoforming tooling cost?

Far less than injection molding. A typical thermoforming aluminum tool runs around $3,200 where a comparable injection mold costs $45,000 — which is why thermoforming wins below roughly 3,000–8,000 units per year. Your quote always includes the exact tooling price for your part, and the tool is machined in our own shop.

How fast will I get my quote?

An engineer replies within 24 hours — usually within a few working hours. You get a free DFM review with feasibility notes, material recommendation, tooling cost, unit price by quantity, and lead time.

What is the lead time for tooling and samples?

Tooling typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on part size; first article samples are usually in your hands in about 14 days for standard parts. Production runs ship 2–3 weeks after sample approval.

Do you have a minimum order quantity?

No. We accept orders from a single prototype through 100,000+ unit production programs — same factory, same quality system.

What file formats can I send?

STEP, IGS, STL, DXF, PDF, or ZIP. No CAD file? Send photos and dimensions, or just describe the part — our engineers will work from what you have.

Is my design kept confidential?

Yes. Files are reviewed by engineers only, and we can sign an NDA before you transfer any drawings. Confidentiality is standard practice for our automotive and medical customers.
