Extreme Makeover Gen II Thermoformer Edition

by Jennifer Oden August 15, 2017

What have we been doing for the last year? Oh, just engineering the best damn Table Top Vacuum Forming Machine we possibly could! The HD Vacuum Former Press has spent the last twelve months undergoing an extreme makeover top to bottom. We gave her a new look, enhanced her already fantastic features, bolstered her bones for more durability, and opened her up to a new world of applications! She's a beaut! (ok, maybe just to us)

Improved Features

"Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it." - Winston Churchill

We love our customers! The feedback we get is indispensable. Many of the features we added to the new design are a direct result of customer insights. Not only are there great new features, we also include all plumbing parts needed to get started. The value is unbeatable!

In case you missed it, we drove a Toyota Tundra over a press to show you how tough this sexy thang is...nuff said?

Unlimited Applications

Every day we see new ways the HD Vacuum Forming Press is being used. Here are some of the industries currently using the HD Vacuum Former:

Dental, Aerospace, US Military, Holster Making, Knife Sheath Forming, Hobbyists, Veneering, Cosplay, Costume Makers, Special Effects, Prop Making, Architectural Models, Orthotics, Prototyping and many other types of thermoforming.

Different materials thermoformed on the HD Press - Kydex, Boltaron, ABS, HIPS, PETG, Wonderflex, Worbla, Styrene, Cork, Leather, Plastics, and other types of thermoformed materials...the list goes on!

Sooo...Whats the big deal?

"All men have limits. They learn what they are and learn not to exceed them. I ignore mine." - Batman

The original HD Vacuum Press was a great product with a lot of demand. The design limited where we could take it (figuratively and literally). The GEN II Vacuum Former is pressing through (har har) all those limitations.

One of our major goals with this redesign was to be able to offer custom sizes along with our standard vacuum presses. We have lots of requests for different shapes and larger presses, and our first design wasn't scalable. GEN II thermoforming machine resdesign allows us to be customizable. We are planning to offer custom shapes and sizes built to your specs in the near future. It really doesn't get any better than this.
