A forming table (1) comprising a body, a mandrel (3) on the body that gives form to the material (M) to be shaped, and a frame for holding the material (M) comprising at least two arms (401) located on the body, each arm having two bending elements (4001) located thereon. Opposing bending elements (4001) are connected via a hinge (5), the table further having a force applying means (6) for applying force to each bending element. The force applying means is configured to apply force to the bending elements so as to bend both edges of the material (M) simultaneously. Preferably, the force applying means is attached to a device (9) slidably positionable by a user on the bending elements (4001). Preferably, the forming table (1) is arranged to bend a transparent thermoplastic sheet (M) to shape it into an aircraft canopy.
A forming table (1) comprising a body (2), at least one material (M) made of a thermoplastic material, that is placed on the body (2) to be subjected to a forming process and transformed from a regular structure into a glassy structure by means of heat, at least one mandrel (3) that is located on the body (2) to give shape to the material (M), at least one frame (4) that enables the material (M) to be attached onto the body (2), at least two arms (401) that are located on the frame (4), at least two bending elements (4001) located on the arms (401), at least one rotary element (5) to which both bending elements (4001) are connected, at least one trigger (6) applying force to each bending element (4001), such that the material (M) is placed on the mandrel (3) by bending both of its edges simultaneously, wherein and enabling the material (M) to be held at least partially mutually, enabling the material (M) to be shaped on the mandrel (3), and enabling the bending elements (4001) to rotate there around, thereby enabling them to rotate around the rotary element (5), configured to form a part (P) by heat treatment of material (M) and multiple pulleys (7) being located on the body (2) in a stationary manner, thereby changing the direction of the force by making a rotational movement around their own direction, at least one elastic element (8), one end thereof being located on the bending elements (4001), the other end thereof being subjected to an applied force, passing over the pulleys (7) and enabling the force applied to the end thereof to be transferred to the bending elements (4001) by means of the pulleys (7), the pulleys (7) enabling the bending elements (4001) to rotate on the rotary element (5) by connecting the trigger (6) to the elastic element (8).
