Item description from seller

Paperback. Detailed construction plans for the popular "Hobby-Vac" vacuum forming machine. (also called Thermoforming) Form flat plastic sheets over a mold using heat and vacuum. Infra-red heat is used to soften a plastic sheet, then stretch it over a mold and pull it down with vacuum. You can use a shop-vac for thin plastics or get five times more forming power with a real vacuum pump. This second edition plans set includes a source to purchase tuned heating elements. Also new information about alternate heating elements and methods of construction. 15 chapters include tips on using the machine, selecting a plastic, mold making and using 3D printing for molds. Build a low cost machine that matches the performance of commercial equipment. Great for crafts, scale modelers, makerspaces and even small businesses. Vacuum forming is the original rapid prototyping method and is a perfect companion to 3D printing. It provides another option in the world of desktop manufacturing. Build your own plastic molding machine for crafts and hobbies. This item is printed on demand.
