I have finished my vacuum form project. To complete the project I first cut out an abstract shape out of MDF. The only guidelines I used for making my shape was to make it have a flat bottom so that it could stand up. After I cut out the shape on the ban saw on Monday I sanded it smooth. Then I routered the edges. In class on Wednesday I split the two pieces of MDF apart and vacuum formed both pieces at the same time of out 40 mil. styrene. I then cut the shapes out with a xacto knife and used weld on and a strip of 20 mil styrene to stick the two pieces of styrene together. I then used spackling to fill the gabs and finally sanded the model smooth.
