I tried using the Form 3 model for vacuum forming!
"Did Form 3 just end with 'just looking at the shape'? We tried using the mold for vacuum forming!" | System Create
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. The theme of Vol. 46 is "Using the Form 3 model as a vacuum forming mold!" The resin printer "Form 3" is often used primarily for purposes such as shape verification and assembly, essentially for "seeing shapes." However, depending on the combination with other tools, it can actually be used in completely different ways! One such method is using the printed model as a "mold." Among these, vacuum forming pairs well with printed models and allows for great flexibility in shape. Therefore, this time, to verify this new usage, we actually vacuum formed the printed model and tested how much power it can exert as a mold. We will explain, along with actual print data and images of the printed model and the formed products, questions like, "How do you create a forming mold?" and "Can it be formed neatly?" *You can download the materials from the button below.
