A method and apparatus for making biological discs comprises the steps and means for welding the longitudinal edges of a pair of identical rectangular plastic sheets together to form a single large sheet. This single large sheet is conveyed to a heating and vacuum forming station where the sheet is heated and vacuum formed to have a plurality of convex cup-like projections formed in the surface thereof. The sheet is then moved to a cutting station where heating mechanisms form openings therein for accommodating an axle and a plurality of tie rods, and the sheet is cut in circular configuration by a cutting device shiftable on a radius of predetermined magnitude.
