That's cool, I didn't know you could do that. How do you make the mold? If (as I suspect) the answer is handcrafting, 3d printing still offers a considerable ad

  Oh gosh yes. Though for certain finishes, vacuum forming still has some upsides. Whats neat is you can use 3D printing to make the mould for vacuum forming over. This gives you the best of both worlds, in terms of the shapes/finishes that forming can achieve, but with the workflow benefits of 3D printing. Similarly, the new hotness is compression/cold forging using 3D printed moulds and carbon fibre (and other materials). Very very cool.
