Senior™ Thermoformer (vac-former)
Thermoforming works by heat softening a sheet of plastics material, stretching it over a forming tool (model), then removing the air (vacuum) from underneath the heated sheet. The heat softened plastics sheet will then conform to the forming tool and cool to its original stiffness.
