    I hope this helps...having recently made curved windshields out of polycarbonate for an airplane windshield, I did it much differently and easier. Your "oven" doesn't need to be so hot, only 250f. Make it big enough for the whole form, which should withstand 250f. Preheat. Lay the entire sheet over the form and heat it for about 25 minutes. It should droop over the form. Do not remove it from the form until it is cooler than 175f. Use cotton gloves to push it to the form as it cools. Check on the progress every 5 minutes until you get good results. You may have to increase temp gradually depending on the thickness. If this helps, please sign "Bobby Tee 😊!" on you car with a sharpy! Test my procedure out by making a small mold and a 12" square piece of polycarbonate in your kitchen oven. You will have good results.

And trim excess material after it solidifys we would put square plastic blanks in with a frame to then move the mold into the plastic from underneath and vacuum it until it cools, but I am just a guy in the comment section, you are doing the awesome.

You just pull a 4" thick sheet of plastic out of an oven the size of a house, and use a giant hydraulic machine to stretch it in several directions at the same time, and push it over the mold in one quick movement. Like many things, it's easy if you have all the right tools, and decades of experience.

You mention this video was a "waste of time" but I can assure you, there is more value in this one video than in the other 99% of videos on youtube - combined!
    I now work for the MoD/DoD as a weapon systems engineer, and don't get hands on so much anymore, I drive a desk for a living. So it's always nice to see videos like these that remind me of the formative years of one's engineering journey. Kudos to you and the team for not only uploading your successes, but your lessons learned too. Far too many people devalue the importance of the journey and focus simply on the destination, whereas anyone who has ever been on a camping trip with mates knows that the journey is often the best part!

    I think you should try heating the lexan on the mold and let it form by gravity.
    That way it can release all internal tensions and it won't be wavy.
    Also the potentially grabby surface of the cloth probably doesn't help as it might partially stick as it droops.

    How about enlarging the oven and having the molding process happen inside? I.e. place a cold, flat sheet onto mold (secured to the mold at the centerline), and have it slowly heat and drape over the mold, then slowly cool, all inside the oven.
    The slow heating, molding, and cooling process may help reduce the stress inside the sheet which happens during the very quick molding and cooling process, and therefore might help reduce the waviness and irregularities you're seeing.

    I worked for a company making windshields for aircraft, developing forming processes for these. You need to vacuum bag the part to the mold to get it to take the shape. You may be able to get away with clamping the edges.
    I think lexan is polycarbonate. Try using acrylic instead. It’s a lot easier to work with. And you can sand and polish it when you’re done to get the small defects out. You can’t really sand polycarbonate because it’s too gummy.

      @GimpGladly Před 2 měsíci +1

      The rules require polycarbonate because it is tougher. It is not brittle like acrylic, it will bend. You can literally bend 1/4" poly on a sheet metal break at room temperature. In industrial settings polycarbonate is the standard safety glass for this same reason. Lucky for me, aerodynamics are not a top priority when it comes to safety shields and containment guards, so only the occasional 2" radius bend would be required using a heater strip type thing.

    I did something similar to create a one-off male mold for a recumbent bicycle fairing. I had a vendor machine two polystyrene half shells ($2000 total), I lightly sanded the half shells, covered the polystyrene core in 2" wide polypropylene tape, sprayed on some mold release agent, and built-up two layers of carbon fiber with some extra epoxy coats for sanding and polishing. I then pulled off the polystyrene cores for each half and joined the two haves at the line of symmetry. Worked really well and would do it again. The only costly part was the very accurate polystyrene machining, but that was a huge labor saver and gave me 3D model perfect shape.

    Fifty years ago, we made an oven to take a 4 X 8 upright. It hung from binder clips on rollers and drapery track, which extended out 9' to move the sheet to the vacuum mold. The box was made from asbestos sheet and aluminum angle, but drywall and corner bead would probably work, or fiberglass/concrete board for higher temperatures. Not much insulation, but it didn't run much, so cost was low. The key to even heating was adding a squirrel cage blower, re-assembled with the motor outside. No problem with thin stock.

  • @BariumCobaltNitrog3n
    @BariumCobaltNitrog3n Před 2 měsíci +1

    I've made a lot of things using various types of plastic but mostly acrylic, plexiglass and polycarb and I found repeatable success with low temperatures, around 200-250 and don't let the plastic go completely soft, just when it starts to slump and have the warm mold ready (smooth wood is best). The fast cooling makes it wrinkle and the cooler side will pull the curve towards that side. Ideally the mold is in the oven for the whole ride. 15-20 min max. I got bubbles from too high temp and heating too quickly and not having support. Thicker is better to a point. Also possible is covering your mold with tin foil, clamped to make it smooth. The non-stick kind.

    I think you should have or make a wooden maple C&C buck then finish and drill it out for vacuum forming. Combine the two techniques and it will be flat and nearly perfect. You still may need to polish it like a headlight lens. Test to figure out the size and number of holes for optimum results. I have seen boat windshields formed using a shop vacuum cleaner for the vacuum. I doubt you really read these comments but that's my two cents having done small format vacuum forming for theatrical props and so forth.

    Hi Matt. I have drape formed Lexan for a small camper teardrop style. I made an aluminium former (singe curve) and a much bigger oven, plywood lined with rock-wool loft insulation, one which would hold the former as well as the Lexan. The curves were good but the small number of bubbles were infuriating as I didn't know about drying it out first. I bought spare oven parts and made my own heater fan assemblies. I made 3 ~3ft sq windows which needed three formers. good luck with the rest of the build.

    I did some windshields for ultralights airplaines and these are my thought on your experiment : 1 If you want a perfect optical quality, you need a PERFECT mould. It has to be a mirror finish, flat or high constant radiuses, no waves that you dont want to have in your windshield. So filler, sanding, iterate, 2kpaint, polishing. 2 Pre-heat the mould, but would be better with a thick fiberglas and remove the foam under (infrared heaters are the best for that). For this reason all mold in the industry are heated polished metal. I had nice success on polished stainless steel sheet wrapped on a wood pattern, but no conpound curve in this case. 3 You don't need coton cloth if your mould is mirror with heat resistant paint on it, anyway the cloth has built-in waves and pattern that you don't want in your windshield. 4 When forming you need a way to wrap the PC with a constant traction all along the border so pinch each side between 2 wooden slats with lots of screws to have a nice grab on each side. 5 You need to pull hard and quick. The mould has to be ANCHORED on a strong support. For this size I think you need 4 people, pull away to stretch the PC, then down to wrap when still pulling away, I think you where good on that. If your mould is preheated with still some infrared on it when forming, then you have more time to form before the PC solidify. 6 Polish the PC after to remove any defect (soft cotton wheel with a very gentle polishing conpound). You need some tests to master the technique, I did my training on small model airplane canopy when I was young [;oD
