Double time! Forming head bands for PPE shields. Thanks to Paul V and his team for their contribution on the design and fabrication of these shields on the Formech 450DT. As you may have seen in our earlier posts, it started with Louie at the University of Bantangas in the Philippines. Then the concept migrated to Paul and his team in Scotland, gaining little improvements along the way.
Vac-forming helped to speed up the fabrication process, saving time and resources when compared to 3D printing every single headband. Instead, the 3D printing process could be utilized to make the molds. Stay tuned for our upcoming case study, which will quantify the numbers.

Formech would like to acknowledge our European office in Germany for fabricating and assembling face shields for their local community, well done! The top part was formed on a Formech 450DT and a 508DT and then assembled by volunteers from Leimersheim and Jockrim. Made in Leimersheim and donated by Formech Europe - Jeannine Wolf and Markus Wolf Kieswerk & Transport

Formech would like to acknowledge our friends at B

Formech would like to acknowledge our friends at Batangas University in the Philippines, especially Louie! Due to a shortage of materials, they are implementing a clever way to make face shields to protect against COVID. Instead of 3D printing all of the rigid parts of the mask, they are conserving resources and speeding up the process by using a 3D print as a mold. Then they vacuum form the top part where the elastic attaches on their desktop Formech 450DT. Note we have not tested this method, but we definitely wanted to share in case it could help anyone. We are seeing many different efforts across the globe and we would like to try and streamline communication among our community of makers. Please use and follow the hashtag #forming4covid if you have a design to share or need assistance, let’s unite and pool our resources to fight this pandemic!

If you have a material and you’re unsure if it will mold properly with a vacuum form machine, our research and development team is here for you! Many of our customers send us materials to test whether it will properly form or not. Not only does it save our customers time and money, but it also gives our team experience with new materials. Design has endless opportunities, and that’s why we are always searching for ways to innovate. Have you experimented with new materials lately? Let us help you!

Ever wondered how much you could achieve with a #VacuumForming machine? How about build a car… #Mechanical #engineering students at the French school of Lycée Monge, #Chambéry, form complex shapes with our very own #Formech 686 machine. Combining this with rapid #prototyping tools, helps the students create innovative car body designs both quickly and cheaply.
