OBJECTIVE:
Project 4 requires all students to Vacuum Form their Project 3 ‘Texture Tiles. Using PolyStyrene, or P.E.T.G. Plastics, Vacuum Form your existing Texture Tiles from Project 3 using the small window.
CRITERIA:
Each Tile must be Vacuum Formed.
If working with a Partner, you must attempt at least (6) Vacuum Forms.
Project must be properly documented and submitted in Course Folder.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Drilling small holes (1/16″ or 1.5 mm) will allow the Vacuum to pull air through the ‘deeper’ portions of your tiles.
Cutting the Edges of your Tiles on a Table Saw, at a 45 Degree Angle, will allow for easier removal of Vacuum Formed Plastics.
Vacuum Forming Tutorials are available here.
Vacuum Former Policy and Procedure is available here.
