Review: We find the Krystaclear product much easier to use. They have provided samples and mock ups and have been easier to contact. www.krystaclear.com As far as bending the products, a lot depends upon the type. Resins with embeds are difficult to heat bend and post form (twigs and bamboo do not bend).

Review: Eco-Resin should be heated to around 230 degrees for heat forming. The time varies on thickness of the gauge and size of piece or sheet. typically a 3/8" gauge of varia with a surface area of 4 ft will take 10 min. to reach the desired malleability for forming into simple bends or twists. It is not rocket science, but does require a certain finesse in order to produce sophisticated curves. it is also possible to create molds lined with heat resistant material for the material to rest in until it cools.

Review: Architects spec this product without anticipating the extremely high prices. 3Form has horrible customer service & delivery to go along with their extremely excessive(I mean out of this world) pricing. The only advantage 3 Form has is a monopoly at this point. Hopefully, a competitor will arise or the product fad will fade away.

Review: Has anyone tried to "form" or bend varia in their own shop? Can you heat form it? Does it become brittle or change colors? Is it easily cut into various sized pieces? Any info on how to work with this material is appreciated.

Review: 3form is a great product. The uses are almost unlimited; from floors, wall art, interior window dividers, furniture, ceiling accents, stand alone room dividers, your imagination is the limit. We are a 3form partner and would love to assist people in the application, fabrication, and installation aspect anywhere in the southeast United States.

Review: I have used Lightblocks from MB Wellington Studio in numerous projects and have found them eaiser to work with than most companies out there. They work with architects and residential customers and you can order their product in any color you can imagine and in most sizes.

Review: There are lots of other similar materials (in price and aesthetics). Folks that are interested should look into Panelite and Lightblocks, as well. Be warned that prices start around $12 a square foot and head up from there, which is to say that a 4'x 8' sheet could run you a cool grand.

Review: Like many building products, 3-form comes in 4'x 8' and larger sheets. But you can often get get smaller pieces that are left over from big projects at less cost if you are flexible about the content and finish. A local architect, designer or even 3-form rep can probably help.
