View source for Open Source Vacuum Forming Machine

=Basics=
*A machine for [[Vacuum Formong]]
*Simple forms connected to a vacuum cleaner work, but need external sheet heating, and are less "streamlined" in the sense of the workflow
*Main use cases are making thin shells, clear windsheilds/domes from clear plastic, making masks (decrative, or face sheilds), and molds

=Existing Open Source Designs=
*All those smaller jigs
*Need to look into sheet heating
=Minimum Viable Product=
*

=Basic Design=
*Internal Heating via top mounted elements/source
*Raise/lift mechanism
*Integrated suction/vacuum generator
*Some sort of quick release holder for the forms
*IS THE PID HEATING really that useful on the Vaquform DT2?
*Nice IO Panel
