What dome blower do we have in the workshop?

The 3D workshop has one CR Clarke dome blower 320 unit. It is used to create plastic domes.

Plastic sheets are first heated in the plastic oven. Once hot the plastic sheet is fixed to the dome blower and air is blown into the hot plastic. The plastic then expands to form the shape of the dome.

The dome blower creates domes of 300mm, 225mm and 150mm in diameter. The height of the dome can be varied. The maximum height is the same as the radius of the dome. If you try to blow a dome taller than it is wide the dome will become stuck in the machine.
