i have posted some images as shown below, this product is used in the food packaging industry, its made from plastic polystyrene or Polythene, im sure you guys see this sort of product every day.

my question is to experts who are very knowledgeable with manufacturing plastics.

how would you manufacture this product? once the design is completed in solidworks
is mold design a good method to manufacture this? the material is going to be very thin.

i was just wondering if any one can possibly give a step by step design process for this product
any recommendations would be greatly appreciated from you guys.

thank you in advance.

It would be a thermoformed part from sheet.

thanks allot for the reply karl i really appreciate it, is it possible you can go into more detail with this please,

for e.g if i had a cad mad from solidworks , how would i use the geometry of the cad model to manufacture this design shown in the picture as shown below, there are quiet allot of extruded surfaces? and how does the thermoformed process actually work?

thanks once again.
