Best Answer

Heating it and allowing it to assume the shape desired, usually involving a mold or guide. This is the simplified explanation of how all curved glass/acrylic items such as windshields are made.

Vacuum forming is a process where hot perspex is layed over a mould then the air between the mould and the perspex is sucked out.
