Compression Molding & Vacuum Forming
Sensical provides compression molding in Ohio from our 200,000 square foot facility in Solon. Both our compression molding and vacuum forming use thermoforming, a process that molds fibrous and flexible materials into specific shapes with custom forms and heat. Thermoforming costs less than transfer and injection molding and wastes less material, which makes it the right choice for parts made with expensive substrates.

Compression Molding
Our compression molding machines produce fibrous and fiberglass parts with a high level of detail and very little material waste. As a compression molding contract manufacturer, we handle larger parts, more intricate designs, and higher volume runs, from compression molding automotive parts for OEM programs to compression molding appliance parts as we grow into new markets.
We offer a variety of base materials and scrim options for high-heat acoustical applications that provide:
• Weight Reduction
• NVH Improvement
• V0 Flammability Requirements
• Aesthetic Appearance
• Competitive Costing
• No Post Trim or Waterjet
• Glassfiber
• PUR Foam
• PET Nonwoven
In-Process Trim
Our in-process trim includes high tonnage, large platen and part sizes, efficient material use, inline material indexing, and one-step tooling design that avoids post-part trimming.
We offer:
• Hood Insulators
• Dash Insulators
• Tunnel Insulators
• Under Floor
• Engine Under Cover
• Alum Heat Shields
• Glasswool
• PUR Foam
• PET Fiber
Waterjet Post Trim
Our robotic waterjet post trim options provide multi-layer cutting, EVA processing, inline material indexing, and competitive tooling costs. Pairing robotic waterjet cutting with compression molding gives OEMs tight tolerances on complex molded parts without added tooling expense.
Our products include:
• Alum Heat Shields
• Glasswool Fiber
• PET Nonwoven
• Undercovers
• Tunnel Insulators
• Dash Insulators
Vacuum Forming
Industrial vacuum forming stretches material over a mold and uses vacuum-induced pressure to shape the material to the mold. Our vacuum forming equipment creates both large and small components out of thermoplastics. Once we produce a mold, full-scale production runs and prototype parts move quickly for testing.
