Plastic for the vacuum table
Mon, 01/25/2010 - 12:49 — rcj02453
Does anyone know a good source for the plastic that can be formed using the vacuum table? What thickness is appropriate (I'm away from all my T/S documents so can't look it up, if it's in the SBU docs).
Thanks!

US Plastics is one of the best sources for that type of plastic card.

1/32-1/8" ABS or HIPS
I'd use some ABS or HIPS plastic, in thicknesses from 1/32" to 1/8". Currently our vacuum-former takes 2'X2' pieces, too.
Piedmont Plastics is about ten minutes down Miami Blvd. from us.
