That’s pretty much how they make lexan bodies for rc cars. We had a big one in a high school shop that was made from an air hockey table kind of ran in reverse with a vacuum. We would place the item to be copied on the table. Then we had like a picture frame that we would put Material in and heated it up until it was pliable, then set it over the air hockey table and turn it on

I tossed one out about 7 years ago when I was moving .

Now if you were doing large, smooth objects like boat hulls or aircraft parts, Vac forming might be better?
