  • what do you me it doesnt explain? i think it is fairly clear

    nice vid :D

  • thanx for that. to be fair I wasn't trying to explain vac forming so much as exploring animating the 3d model.

  • Was only trying out techniques to produce the slumping effect, anyhow what do you need to know?

  • Good effort! I have used ProD for some time now (I'm a DT Teacher). I may just use this video as a teaching aid if you don't mind. The lack of audio / description will be an advantage as it means the kids will have to explain the process!

  • @okayillgonow the reply was from me coz my dad was on my account :P

  • Already exists. Search "CR Clarke 1820"

  • @okayillgonow Hi thanks for viewing. Yes the chamber beneath the mould, where the platten is housed, has the air pumped out to create a vacuum drawing the hot plastic down over the mould. The direction of flow can be swapped so that as the plastic cools it can be blown up and away from the surface of the mould.

  • Does it require a vacuum pump? Or is the self-cooling of the plastic enough to form the required shape?

  • exelent!! thank you

  • I love how they all whine and moan about how this doesnt explain vacuum forming!

    nice video! you haz skillz!

  • Can someone tell me the vacuum forming process plzz...i need it for my exam...thanks
