Plug Assist Forming. After the heat-softened sheet is sealed across the mold cavity, a plug shaped similar to the cavity penetrates the sheet causing it to stretch as it is carried into the cavity. When the plug has completed its penetration stroke, vacuum and/or compressed air is introduced to transfer the sheet from the plug surface to the cavity mold surface. The plug size, combined with the rate and depth of penetration, affect the amount of stretching that occurs and is primarily responsible for the ultimate material distribution in the finished product.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - plug%20forming
