What It's Useful For

The vacuum forming process is useful as an easy way to create molds for unusual shapes. It allows for the creation of cohesive forms from multiple smaller parts, and provides for inexpensive and quick fabrication.

Vacuum forming is used for a wide range of products such as packaging, medical equipment and vehicle parts. On campus, it is most likely useful for architecture and design, to produce parts for models and prototypes.

Some typical applications include:

Machinery Guards
Electrical Enclosures
Parts for medical devices
Bath & shower Trays
Parts of vehicle cabs
Packaging
Signage
