Vacuum forming, also known as thermoforming, is a technique to shape a variety of plastics to a mold called a buck. Vacuum forming is used by hobbyists, designers, and engineers, as well as in industrial settings. A vacuum form table is not a complicated piece of technology -- it requires mechanisms to heat plastic and pour it over a sample, and a chamber from which all the air can be pumped out to form a vacuum, ensuring that the plastic adheres closely to the buck. Even homemade vacuum form tables can be so precise that small pores from organic samples will appear in the final cast.
