Motorhome and caravan parts. Back into production.
Older model series often lack exactly the plastic parts that finish a vehicle: trim panels, fascias, covers. VAKURA brings them back into production, for manufacturers providing spare parts and for the parts trade.
Three photos are enough for the first step, with no obligation.
What we bring back into production.
Interior and ceiling trim panels
Large, flat parts up to the forming area of 1200 × 2000 mm.
Locker and cabinet fascias
Fascias and covers in the living area.
Service covers
Covers for heating, ventilation and connections.
Exterior trims
Parts on the front, rear and side walls, in weather-resistant ASA.
Lamp surrounds
Frames and trims for lamps and rear lights.
Wheel arch and entry trims
The parts under the most everyday wear.
The model series has ended. The demand has not.
Motorhomes and caravans stay in use for a long time. For discontinued model series, a new injection mould does not pay off, so spare parts are missing.
Vacuum thermoforming is particularly suited to large, flat parts and uses a forming tool in a different cost class. Economical from around 150 units.
ABS is the standard for interiors, ASA for exteriors. Surfaces smooth matt, smooth gloss or paintable.
Rear trim panel for a discontinued model series
A caravan manufacturer continues to supply spare parts for vehicles of a discontinued model series. The large rear trim panel is no longer available, and the supplier's injection mould no longer exists.
A part from stock is scanned and redesigned. For exterior use, ASA is chosen instead of ABS because it is more weather-resistant. Openings for lights and fixings are cut by CNC trimming.
The manufacturer has the part back in its spare parts range and calls it off as needed. The forming tool is stored for repeat orders.
Example of a typical order, not a customer project.
Four steps, two approvals.
Photos or sample part
Three photos and the quantity are enough for the assessment. For the design, we need an original part.
Scanning and design
3D scanning, redesign and improvement of weak points. You approve the design.
Tool and first article
Master pattern and forming tool, followed by a first article with an inspection report. You approve it.
Production and repeat orders
Vacuum thermoforming and CNC trimming. The tool is kept ready for repeat orders.
What should be clarified first.
Is this a copy of the original part?
No. We redesign the part based on the original and improve weak points in the process. This does not imply approval by the vehicle manufacturer.
How large can the parts be?
The forming area is up to 1200 × 2000 mm with sheet thicknesses from 3.0 to 14.0 mm. Larger parts can often be designed in several sections.
Which colours are possible?
Black as standard, others depending on sheet availability. Paintable surfaces for colour matching are possible.
From what quantity does it pay off?
Economical from around 150 units. For smaller quantities, we will point you to the more suitable process.
Who owns the tool and data?
You do, upon payment. We store the forming tool for repeat orders, and you receive the CAD data as STEP and STL files.
One part is enough.
Send us three photos and the quantity. You will receive an assessment of the process, the quantity range and the items of the quote. Free of charge and without obligation.
