5.1.8.1 - Ideal plastic forming point: Due to the existence of several types of vacuum form material (different materials
and thicknesses), the ideal plastic forming point is identied by changes in the plate and not by time. In view of this, it is
the responsibility of each blank manufacturer to provide instructions of use with their material.
In general, the ideal vacuum point is observed by the sagging of the plate from 10 to 20mm, as shown in the drawing
below.
