Microthermoforming is a specialized manufacturing process used to create thin, intricate plastic components by heating and shaping plastic materials. It is a variation of traditional thermoforming but specifically designed for producing very small and detailed parts, often with micrometer-scale features. The process typically involves the following steps: 1. **Material Selection**: Thermoplastic materials, often in sheet form, are chosen based on their properties, such as flexibility, temperature resistance, and ease of molding.
