The vacuum former is a specialised tool that allows you to create basic moulds using the surface of other materials. It is by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen! Which shows how much of a life I've lived. You place a sheet of plastic in what is essentially a oven grill and wait until the plastic wobble to touch. Then lifting the heater you raise your mould until you can just see it pushing the plastic before swithcing on the vaccum. The mesh suface allows air to be sucked from underneath forcing the plastic to literally wrap itself around your materials.
