Process for a design project at the Emily Carr University in Vancouver, Canada. Here Tobias and I vacuum form three different objects multiple times: a part of a spoon, and the bottom portion of a milk bottle and bowl. The latter two were previously cast in alginate, then plaster positives were made from the molds. The spoon is partially embedded in a board of MDF. In some scenes a rubber layer was added over the plaster to increase the overall size; in others a previous plastic vacuum form was re-vacuum formed (up to three times). All forming was done with a thermoset sheet of approx. 1mm polystyrene. Of important note: plaster is naturally porous and easily vacuum forms while a plastic positive shape does not. For enlargements with indentations, the rubber must be punctured with a pin or small drill bit.

Product DescriptionFilm insert injection molding (FIM) is an increasingly popular technique to impart decoration onto moldings. In this study, FIMs were produced by using amorphous and crystalline polymers that were evaluated based on their film-substrate interfacial adhesion strength. Interfacial bonding between amorphous polymers could be achieved at any temperature above the glass transition, though higher temperatures are favorable to enhance diffusion rates. As for crystalline po. . . More >>

Urethane bumper covers are often discarded because of broken tabs and bolt holes. These bumper covers can easily be repaired using the airless plastic welder. Because thermoset urethane bumper covers do not melt, you will not be able to get a true fusion weld. The repair you get is similar to a brazing process.
