The GR Golf difference?

 

From CNC fabrication of the wood seat boards to in house thermoforming of the vinyl and complete seat cushion upholstery…we make it here!  We also control our STOCK here!  This means that when you place your order with us, we are able to ship it the same day via UPS (if before 2:00 pm EST).

 

About CNC Routing

CNC routing is a fabrication process that involves programming a piece of equipment to cut and drill sheets of flat material (in this case, wood) into defined profiles. This is a great method for producing precisely the same item every time.

Our covers are NOT cut and sew, however we are a one-stop shop should you also require this.  They are molded via the vacuum forming process.

 

About Vacuum Forming

Vacuum forming is a plastic thermoforming process that involves forming sheets of material (in this case, vinyl) into three-dimensional shapes through the application of heat and pressure. Basically during vacuum forming processes, vinyl is heated until it becomes pliable, and then it is placed over a mold and drawn in by a vacuum until it takes on the desired shape. Vacuum thermoforming is a great method for producing plastic parts that have sharp details and fit nicely to specific products, such as golf seats
 
During the vacuum forming process, a sheet of heated material is placed over a male or female mold. The mold then moves towards the sheet and presses against it to create a seal. Next, the application of a vacuum draws out the air between the mold and the sheet so that the plastic conforms to the mold exactly. This is accomplished through venting holes in the mold that are joined to vacuum lines. The mold may also have a water cooling system integrated into it that brings the temperature of the material to the set temperature needed. When the curing temperature is reached and the piece is formed, air blows back into the mold and separates the new part from the mold.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Raw Vinyl Stock

Material is cut to size, clamped into place, and heated in a 7’ x 11’ oven

As the material is brought out from the heating cycle, air begins to pull the material over the forms.
