So are you trying to get ideas or what? I'm trying to figure out what you are trying to get out of this.

Just looking to see what others looks like and the results etc. I want to see what your cases look like on the inside, for research.

Its used on a Vacuum forming table, as a mold for your heated plastic to be placed upon, as a result, creating a plastic copy of the mold.

Wow thats a great method! Do you know if a 1/8" Sintra PVC foam will be able to go through this process?

I really do not know, you will have to ask more experienced members, however I would also be interested in info about other plastics that have been attempted to use while Vac Forming.

Depends on your experience. Read the sticky here. Follow the links, and see if this is something you can handle. If it is, it'll be easy. If it doesn't make a lot of sense, it'll be harder.
