There are a good set of plans for a machine called a protoform (I think). I'd invest in those and look at build logs if available. My father built us one for our plastics shop and its certainly up to the task.

Hi All,
I am planing to make a Vacuum Forming Machine and i was wondering what is the best setup for Vacuum Forming Machine to form plastic sheet type PVC, PETG, ABS size 24" X 24" and thickness about 6". What is the vacuum machine do i need? and what is the heating elements do I need too? and what type of heating elements to be used is it a ceramic heat element or infrared heat element ? and what is the best thermoforming heating control system to be used?
Thank You

In case anyone is wondering, I'm the twin of the other gfacer on cnczone...
I agree, I purchased the protoform plans for a basis to a 4' x 8' build I did a couple of years back. It will save you a lot of time.....
