Vacuum Forming - British Plastics Federation.
Vacuum Forming is an industrial technique which may be used for batch production or mass production. A sheet of thermoplastic held by the use of toggle clamps is heated until the plastic becomes malleable (soft and flexible). The air is then sucked out from underneath the plastic using a vacuum pump. Atmospheric pressure presses down on top of the plastic sheet which in turn presses down onto.

Vacuum forming is a very simple process that can be adapted to form complex shapes and profiles. A rigid plastic sheet is heated until pliable. Then a vacuum is applied between the mould face and the underside of the sheet, this draws the sheet into the mould then the sheet is cooled and becomes rigid again taking on the form of the mould. This can then be cut from the sheet to any profile.
