Intro to: Vacuum Forming - Create Custom Soap In-Person
Participants completing this class and quiz will be certified to use the Mayku Formbox during Makerspace Open Hours. The class will make custom soap molds using vacuum forming, the oldest method of thermoforming. We'll talk about important design principals when creating a vacuum formed part such as: removing undercuts, adding draft angles, and when to add air holes. We'll be carving potatoes to reinforce those design principals and vacuum form a mold from the potato. Once the soap mold is made, we'll add custom color and fragrance to our soap base and pour it into the mold to set.
Participants will leave with their own custom soap and soap mold that they created!
