While making
the mold, we found out that the mold should be as precise as possible. The
HIMACS will be produced by means of thermo forming. After the process the HIMACS
will be very stiff and we were not sure if we could reform it by hand. We
tested with a small piece of HIMACS if it is possible to correct small
adjustment. We used a paint stripper and man power to bend the HIMACS. After a
few minutes of heating the material you could bend it.
Conclusion:
Adjustment /corrections can be done of the shape is not precise enough.
