Vacuum Formers

Vacuum formers are essential tools in the manufacturing and prototyping industries. They are designed to shape plastic materials into precise, consistent forms. These machines work by heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable and then employing a vacuum to mould it over a template. Vacuum formers are known for their versatility and efficiency, making them ideal for various purposes.
