Abstract
Primary forming techniques such as injection molding or extrusion use melts at about 250 °C. This chapter on secondary forming describes the shaping of thermoplastic semi-finished products like foils or sheets above their softening temperature of about 120–180 °C to form three-dimensional moldings.
