The process of vacuum forming [also known as thermoforming] begins
with a thermoplastic sheet, in a variety of textures and colors.
The sheet is heated to form a drape and is then drawn over or into
the mold to impart a desired shape. After it is cooled, the excess
sheet material is trimmed, to yield a final part.
