Vacuum Forming

 
  A sheet of thermoplastic material is clamped around its edges and heated until flexible. A heat-proof mould of the required shape is elevated into the softened material. The air between the sheet and the mould is evacuated by a vacuum pump. Atmospheric pressure pushes the material tightly over the mould. The material cools and returns to its rigid state and is then removed. Click here for a demonstration of vacuum forming process.
