Am vacuum forming Polystyrene tubs that impact primary product dimensions. Want to tighten up tolerances on tub. Should I switch tub material (PP)? Add some sort of equip to stamp the tubs a second time to final dims? Add pressure blanket opposite vacuum side for higher pressure gradient accross film? Cycle time is less than 10s. Are there good texts on this?
