This is a test of a -1950's era Factory Machine, called a VACUFORMER, which is still used in mass today. I am embarking on a New Direction [additional direction] of my company to make some physical props. I've always wanted to do it, so now I am. My vacumformer has a platter to make 24 x 36 inch sized props, and these an easily cost $10,000 to buy. But CAN be built for as little as $500.00
My video here shows my very very rough testing of the major components, before I actually assemble it, ready to go, with levers, and switch panel. It worked very well on the first test. With tweaks on positioning the heater and trying different plastics
