also known as an Acrylic line Bender, it is a machine with a strip of wire that heats the acrylic to such a heat that it becomes malleable without warping or bubbling the acrylic as that can happen with other more rapid means of heating the acrylic.
It bends acrylic sheet up to about 5 mm thick.
This can then be used for jewellery, shop fitting and model making.
There are several different makes of acrylic strip heaters on the market ranging from £50.00 a hobby bender to over £300.00 for the professional bear in mind that you do not necessarily get what you pay for more money does not mean better or more professional equipment.
