Abstract
This project revolves around the implementation of VFM as a practical hardware
graduation project.A vacuum forming machine is a machine that form a
various types of plastic panels into any desired shape using molds by first heating
the panel to a certain calculated temperature and then vacuum the air between
the panel and mold to shape it in the mold shape.
The project development process is divided into many parts that will be discussed
later. First, we worked to identify the features that the project needs
to meet the requirements, and we also researched and studied the final form
of the project. After that, we worked to determine the requirements that the
project needs from a mechanical point of view through research and reading articles
and topics related to mechanical matters to determine the best and most
appropriate way to implement the project. After that we searched for the best
parts to implement the project and after deep research we decided to use an
ESP32, MLX90614, limit switch, adjustable step down buck converter, a relay,
a printed circuit board and Nextion intelligent 7.0 inch display.
