H2I Group supplies technical education programs with vacuum forming machines from Formech. A vacuum forming machine is a type of machine that is used to shape plastic materials into a desired form or shape. The process, known as vacuum forming, works by heating a sheet of plastic until it is pliable, and then using a vacuum to suck the plastic onto a mold or form. The vacuum pulls the plastic tightly against the mold, which allows it to take on the shape of the mold. The plastic is then allowed to cool and harden, creating a finished product with the desired shape. Vacuum forming machines are commonly used in a variety of industries, including packaging, product design, and signage, to create such products as packaging containers, toys, and promotional materials.

Students can use vacuum forming machines to design and create their own prototypes and products, allowing them to apply the principles of design and manufacturing that they are learning about in class. This can help students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as gain hands-on experience with the design and production process.
