| Azarkhel:
Vacuum Formed is how a lot of VHS stuff was done, kinda bendy plastic with large hollow sections. Injection molding is how current UGCs are done. |

If I can remember back to my CDT lessons at school, vacuum forming heats the plastic and basically wraps it around a mould or die - forming the shape. It's cheaper than injection moulding, but leaves the plastic quite brittle. |
