From thermoforming to 3D printing

For the production of our robust case shells, we rely on proven thermoforming, also known as vacuum forming. In this process, plastic sheets are first evenly heated and then precisely shaped into the desired form. The method allows flexible customizations in terms of size, wall thickness, or case contour. Compared to injection molding, thermoforming offers lower tooling and setup costs, especially for medium to small production runs.

Using advanced CNC milling technology, we process plastic components for our cases with the highest accuracy. This method allows for precise cutouts, guides, and contours, ensuring easy assembly and reliable functionality. At the same time, the precise surface machining of the milled parts guarantees an exact fit and a durable connection between the case components.

At PARAT, quality starts with digital precision. Using state-of-the-art CAD systems, case shells and components are designed virtually with exact accuracy – from wall thickness and contours to complex details. This allows adjustments and optimizations to be evaluated early, before a physical prototype is created. Our in-house CAD expertise enables short development cycles, high planning accuracy, and precisely fitting solutions that seamlessly transition into production.

As a full-service partner, we maintain control over every step, from design to final production. Adjustments to components, positioning, and assembly can be implemented and tested directly, allowing us to respond flexibly to changes during the development phase. Even in series production, individual work steps are still carried out manually. This ensures that our tool bags and cases are durable, reliable, and of consistently high quality in every aspect.
