The vacuum forming process involves
- Clamping a sheet of plastic into a sturdy Holding Frame.
- Heating the plastic sheet until it becomes soft.
- Placing the frame and the plastic over a mould which is siting ontop of a Vacuumforming Table.
- Applying 'vacuum pressure' to the vacuum table (therefore sucking the plastic onto the mould.)
- Letting the plastic cool while still applying vacuum pressure.
- Separating the plastic from the mold once the plastic is cool.
