DIY Vacuum forming machine

grabcad

Hey everyone,it has again been some time since last upload. This time I present to You a part of my master's degree thesis. As the title says this is a vacuum forming machine (or at least a part of it). Unfortunately due to lack of time and finances I was not able to fit in vacuum pump and heater to turn it in one complete functioning machine. Insted of using an actual heater to heat up polimers I used just a regular heat gun, aswell as using a vacuum cleaner insted of vacuum pump.As You all can see I built the prototype and it works. As always there's a lot of room for improvements but for a first try I'm satasfied with the results.In case someone want's to know more details about it or wants more pictures, You can contact me in messages. It would be a long description for me to explain every detail of it.Cheers!
