Thermoplastics in FIRST
Kydex is a type of thermoplastic useful for creating 3D plastic shapes by heating. (plastic vendor - http://www.regal-plastics.com/sheets.html )

I've used thermoplastic a few years ago, but I'm curious if CD has any useful FIRST applications for Kydex ?

I found a good tutorial about making a knife sheath with kydex,

Are there any other types of common thermoplastics people have use in FIRST ?
