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

Industry Standards

Existing Open Source Designs
