Did you know that the Maker Hub has a vacuum former? Our Formech 508DT Vacuum Former is a plastic molding machine that utilizes heat and a vacuum to stretch heated plastic over a mold.
While there are some limitations on the shape and size, the vacuum former is great for thin plastic molds. The maximum dimensions for molds are 17â€x19†with a depth of 7.3″. The maximum thickness for the plastic sheet is 0.25″.
These molds can be made from many types of materials. It is most common to see molds made from wood. Check out this video to see how the top of a quadcopter drone is made with the vacuum former.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
