@chrisdegouw the thinest acrylic you can buy is 2mm... which is near imposable to vacuum form at home.. the best bet is most likely lexan or polypropoline.

Do you know what material would result in the best optical properties? I make RC aircraft with First Person Video & I am looking to make a custom enclosure for the video camera. An optical turret so I can move the camera in 2 axis. I have designed the shape I need on Solid works and I can cut a negative of a mold on a cnc machine. Whats important is when I strip the plexiglass from the mold that the glass have the best optical properties & the least distortion when looking threw it.
