foam mold for vacuum forming?
(OP)
Can certain foams, like polypropylene, be cut and used as a mold when vacuum forming?
If so, does anyone know any resources for obtaining such foam?
Thanks kindly, all.

The tool gets hot and sees at least 15 psi of force with atmosphere and plastic combined. So you would need some special tricks to make a PP foam work.
Let us know what happens.
