hi all im in the process of designing a vacuum moulding set up to make shells .i have worked out the required chamber size and pump and master mould i need to make. Im just trying to find out what type of plastic it is they make the shell out of (not the cheap type plastic you get with the ansman shells) and a company name.
Thanks
dave

Polycarb sheet, Most signage suppliers will have it. I actually have a couple of sheets here, And have often thought about building a vacuum former

cool thanks for that. i work for a industrial vacuum company so i have the enginners helping me at the moment sorcing a cheap but good design and the only real expensive cost is the pump and a pre moulded shell which i will have to use to make a good cast from.

Awesome!.. Just design the shell in Autocad and get it CNC'd ..

I've also read on another RC forum about using a brand new shell for a Plaster mould. Then modify it a little before producing anybodies.
