How does this create vacuum with compressed air? Venturi affect?

If its a venturi wouldn't it use a huge volume of air?


I've seen larger clamping tables set up for use with a shop vac, same
with laminating bags. Easy enough to build one, just a box with a
plate of holes on top.

A lot depends on what you're laminating ... a shop vac isn't going to cut it
if you're vacuum forming/laminating three layers of 1/4" MDF to a radius
form .
Now if you're sucking a layer of fiberglass onto a canoe hull , it might
be just the ticket .
