The unit is a self contained complete vacuum forming unit. It uses suitable plastic that need to be cut to 5 X 5 inch squares, and when heated and lowered onto a pattern you want to make, will form around the pattern with good detail. The usable area for a pattern is about 4" square... so only small items can be formed. For my purposes, it works very well and I'm completely happy with it. The only thing to be alerted to is that the heating element and chamber gets very hot and if your not careful would be very easy to burn yourself. This is not a toy, but a quality piece of equipment that does its job well. Most plastic sheets are available in 6X6 or 12 X 12 sizes, so you need to waste some of the raw material to use it to cut it down to size. Splint type dental material is already the correct size, but a bit more expensive than off the shelf plastic.Read full review

An all in one device for forming canopies. I like the holder for the sheet to be formed and the mechanism to move the heated plastic over the mold plug. The vacuum is adequate. It comes with ball bearings to block off unwanted areas. The heater is a little weak so takes a little time until sheet is pliable enough. The instructions are very helpful but practice is needed.

It works perfectly, built of good solid material. I built a night guard and it formed tightly around teeth with no problems
