the makerspace I belong to in DFW just got a commercial vacuum former. Although most people are interested in using it with 3d printing moldss, Mine is in leathework.

here is a test I ran where I vacuum formed a wrench to the leather. Obviously there will be a lot of interest in forming knife sheathes and holsters. I'm looking forward to figuring out more things that it can be used with.

Vacuum forming can be use for so many different things.

Me, being a Wood Worker for over 40 years...

I prefer the old fashioned way and make a wood form and leave it clamped over night.

But if I had one, making laminated curved pieces would be much, much easier...but not less messy...nothing can help that.
