Maker Camp 2013: Playing with Plastic

From the creator

Vacuum forming is a process in which a sheet of warmed thermoplastic is shaped by placing it in a mold and applying suction. You can see it all around you, most prevalently in product packaging. Today we'll show you how to make a vacuum former from none other than a humble peanut butter jar. Kit maker and teacher Adam Harris will show us how! Maker Camp is a 6-week virtual summer camp for anyone interested in DIY, making, creating, crafting, hacking, tinkering, and discovery.
