A method for producing a tub-shaped sanitary object made of plastic with a visible side and a bottom, including the following steps: providing a plastic sheet to be molded to form the sanitary object; providing a forming device having a frame arrangement including a first frame with a first frame-shaped bending structure and a second frame with a second frame-shaped bending structure, wherein the plastic sheet is to be formed by bending structures; arranging and attaching the heated plastic sheet to the first frame; inserting the second frame into the open first frame into a forming end position so that the second frame takes along the plastic sheet with its bending structure when it is inserted, wherein the plastic sheet is formed into a tub shape by both the first and the second bending structure; and, cooling the formed plastic sheet.
A forming device for producing a tub-shaped sanitary object made of plastic with a visible side and a bottom, comprising a frame arrangement having a first frame with a first frame-shaped bending structure and a second frame with a second frame-shaped bending structure, wherein the second frame can be inserted into the first frame while taking with it a plastic sheet which is fixed to the first frame until the second frame reaches a final forming position in which the tub-shaped sanitary object is formed, wherein the plastic sheet is deformed by the bending structures of both frames to form bends.
