Hi all,

I'm Alan, and I found this site while doing some research on vacuum forming. I *believe* I've found exactly what I need!

I'm in the process of building a small/mid scale vac former in my shop, and will have lots questions I'm sure.

I plan to start a thread in the vac forming section showing my build (to date) and ask for some advice.

-Alan

Welcome to the board! What sort of projects are you wanting to vac-form?

I own a small business which produces aftermarket auto parts. This is the focus of my vac-forming project. Most parts are small, and are used in the interior. ABS plastic (.090) is likely to be my primary material.

I use two CNC machines in my shop, and have quite a few other nifty toys at my disposal. A nice, simple vac-form machine will allow me to do short production runs, or at least test concepts before farming them out to a more capable (larger) production former.
