The Acrylic Bender (not to be confused with the printer called Bender) is in a long cardboard box on the shelves of the Craft Room.
As well as acrylic it can bend ABS and polycarbonate sheets.
A hot wire softens the plastic along a straight line and then can be manually bent and left to harden in the cooling jig.
Read the Operating Instructions booklet in the box before use.
Maximum thickness of plastic: 6mm Maximum width of sheet / length of bend line 450mm
The cooling jig in the box does 45, 90, 135 and 180 degree bends.
