Vacuum Formed Packaging & 3D Printed Molds

A few months ago I built a vacuum former to make prototype packaging. With the release of a product I helped develop finally I can show WHY I built that vacuum forming machine. As with most every video on this channel, this video is all about the details. If you want to know all about how to design a tool/mold/buck for a vacuum former, this is the video for you. We will be 3D printing the mold, so there will be tips and tricks for that as well.
