If you’re the type of person who likes to make accurate and versatile content that isn’t going to blow a hole in your wallet, then vacuum forming might be the method for you.

Vacuum forming is a popular, yet relatively unknown, method for creating 3D projects and objects. If you’re creating a short run of shallow plastic products, then you might consider using vacuum forming.
