It's interesting to know that thermoforming of hollow plastic bodies and blow-molding them would be better according to the hyperelastic behavior law under the Mooney-Rivlin approach. I guess there are many methods to try in manipulating plastic materials. And it seems that it is best to look for thermoforming equipment solutions according to the law mentioned earlier.
