The key drawback of thermoforming is difficult to control thickness of final products. The temperature distribution affects the thickness distribution of final products, and it was found out that time-dependent variation of heat affects the temperature difference between the surface and the center. The objective of this study is to minimize the temperature difference between the surface and the center of ABS sheet. At first, an optimal heating profile expressed by an exponential function form was derived using integral method which is one of the approximate analytic method. In the following step, the errors for the 3rd and 4th order functions were compared for improving the simulating accuracy. Finally, optimization was carried out using developed approximate analytic solution under the condition of satisfying requirements of thermoforming. The results show that temperature difference between the surface and the center of ABS sheet can be remarkably minimized using developed method.
