Does anyone out there know of a vacuum forming place in the Detroit area? Most places I've found and called are large production companies that want high $ for machine time and labor. I'm looking more for a mom and pops kinda place that would be willing to do a one of piece and not charge me an arm and a leg - basicall a place that has a 'pizza oven' and vacuum table. Thanks!
hey there!
CCS aparently has a nice big vacuum former so if you can find someone who works there (some CAA grads for example) they might show you how to use it and let you make a few things.
thanks doug and 237am. i actually talked to bill at stellar for an hour earlier this week... unfortunately he wanted to charge me about a grand to do the prototype... that's double my lowest estimate (which is still too expensive)
get klinker off his butt and fix the one in the basement of 3d's studio. it's a 4x8 isn't it? just needs power. do it this summer so you get to use it next semester! what are you guys doing this summer? has bill built his house on the triton pools yet, or shall i assume "the talk" i miss the studio, i'm stuck in front a fricken' computer all day. i can't stand it. build while you can!!!!, seriously. . . b - you're the shit.
