【Vacuum Forming Application】Innovative Upgrade for Medical Braces: Large-Scale Production Doubled!
Joint Active Systems (JAS) is a professional team that develops sports aids, producing various joint and muscle corrective exercise products, and providing a complete set of active and static stretching treatments. Established in the United States in 1992, it has successfully helped 300,000 patients worldwide regain joint mobility. They have adopted vacuum forming technology to provide users with the most suitable rehabilitation aids through a production method that surpasses conventional techniques.
Over the years, the JAS team has developed initial models for various braces for the arms, waist, neck, and legs. Combining Formech vacuum forming technology, the model is placed on the work platform. Because the brace will be in contact with the human body for an extended period after wearing, a soft cushion is added before vacuuming. After the vacuum forming material sheet is heated, it is pressed down to form the shape, cooled, and the brace is set.

The industrial Formech vacuum forming machine features a semi-automatic operating system, fast-heating quartz heaters, and a very large working area, allowing for the creation of large molds or multiple models at once. The JAS team can produce 1500-2000 braces per month, doubling production efficiency!
The JAS team uses a cutting tool to cut the vacuum-formed brace sample along its contour. Users can immediately know if the size and shape are suitable after wearing it, which not only saves sample production time but also completes the brace at the lowest cost.
