Overview of vacuum forming plastics thermoforming plastics vacuum pressure forming thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature formed to a specific shape in a mold and trimmed to create a usable product. Kydex is a machinable thermoplastic that can be molded to form fit just about any shape imaginable without expensive tools and machinery. Kydex can reduce the number of individual parts needed in many applications thereby reducing assembly costs. Releasing the mold from the plastic before it fully cools within 2 3 minutes of forming is also a good idea.

The acrylic petg and polycarbonate sheets are normally clear can be special ordered in colors however the polycarbonate may have to be heat dried prior to the vacuum forming temperature phase depending on thickness. This article uses a sheet about 1 4 thick so all times are about 10 to 15 minutes per step.

Each plastic material has a variety of different properties and they form at different temperatures.

Using standard tools kydex thermoforming sheets can be drilled vacuum formed brake formed or punch pressed. Vacuum forming is a manufacturing process by which a sheet of plastic is heated and pressed over a form to create a part. Use these plastic sheets along with with our hobby vacuum formers and a kitchen oven to thermoform homemade plastic parts with results that rival expensive. Once your part is formed it has to be shaped.

Adding color is easy. Cool plastic is hard plastic. In this guide we ll cover the best practices for achieving this using 3d printing. Normally draft angles are present in the design of the mold a recommended minimum of 3.
