Understanding Vacuum Forming

The Vacuum process involves heating a plastic sheet until soft. Compressed air is then blown into the chamber forcing the material into a bubble shape. This pre-stretches the plastic for better distribution, and then the mould is raised.

Subsequently, a vacuum is then applied, sucking the sheet onto the mould. Following that the sheet is then cooled using fans and when cool enough, it’s ejected from the mould using compressed air.

In its advanced form, the vacuum forming process utilises pneumatic operating cores to remove undercuts. This improves the level of detail.
