Assembly Innovation for Vacform Salvage

When facing flawed vacforms from China, Accel engineered a smart solution instead of throwing labor at the problem. Their team developed a specialized process with 3D-printed press forms and custom assembly stations that reduced worker fatigue while salvaging materials. The results? Damage to client products was eliminated and 560,000 vacforms were recovered that would otherwise have been scrapped. This project showcases Accel’s expertise in hand and semi-automated assembly, transforming a manufacturing challenge into an opportunity for innovation and cost containment.
