That technology is decades old and that machine is 2 years old or so

Almost identical to a toy from the 1960's. I had one but I can't remember what it was called. Had 4 inch plastic squares that fit in the upper part which you lowered down over the original. It heated the plastic and pulled soft plastic down and around w/ a built-in vacuum.

3D printing sounds cool, but you still need all the materials for whatever you’re making. Sooo, I’m jus gunna go to the store.

I just printed this yesterday, using flour, sugar and my oven. If Vacuum Forming is 3D printing then baking is too. Molding is NOT 3D printing!

Good for one sided objects. It’s a start.

Please don’t confuse your audience. This is vacuum forming
-
Ok I don't get it. Won't 3D printing an actual mold be more precise?
-
I don’t understand you question, but 3D printing uses a software and a 3D model to print whatever you’ve designed. Vacuuming uses a mold to shape a layer of plastic.
-
I'm just saying. Won't a 3D printed mold of a Lego let's say be more precise and accurate than vacuum molding since it might miss some creases and corners?
-
Yes, of course. Two different ways of producing for different results. 3D is more precise.

Or just 3D print a mold.

More accurately, it's a machine to make moulds. Still pretty cool though.
