I've spent the last year and a half building a production quality vacuform table, to create costumes and props. Mine is a modified version of the Protoform vac table plans. Mine uses 25 infra red ceramic heaters, 2 digital controllers to control separate heat zones, a 30 gallon tank, and an industrial Gast vacuum pump. I can use it to form ABS, HIPS, styrene and other plastics. It took a long time to tune and I would highly recommend getting the Protoform vac table plans. They are totally worth it and will save you a lot of headache. I would strongly recommend consulting an industrial electrician as messing around with high voltages and temperatures is not for everyone. Safety first! *Note: I got the website wrong in the video, the Protoform vac table plans are on Build Stuff. http://www.build-stuff.com/plans/proto-form-vacuum-forming-build-plans/ Music by: Bensound.com
