You could, but the bend radius would be just a bit off (either larger or smaller depending on whether you used the top or bottom). Plus you want to make your blank bigger than the final piece and cut to final dimensions--that would be difficult to do that way. It's fairly easy to make one out of wood. Assuming you're using MDF, with some lacquering and a mold-release coat the finish would be good enough in the CF (though not as good as these glossy ones--you'd need highly polished aluminum or glass for that), and it would be strong enough to hold up to the vacuum if you decide to try that out.
