Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mould, and trimmed to create a usable product (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming). Often a vacuum and maybe even a plug is used to help the sheet take the shape of the mould.
