Alternately, try "smash molding".

Short story: heat the plastic and pull it over a form.

Make a clamp fixture that holds the edges of the plastic on all sides.
Arrange the mold in a another fixture so it sits above (stands proud of)
the fixture.
Heat the plastic until plastic deformation starts. then pull it down
over the mold, well past the bottom of the mold.
