Mayku Mayku FormBox Desktop Vacuum Former

Using the Mayku FormBox Vacuum Former is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

With the FormBox, you can start mass-producing as many awesome designs as you want.

First, you'll need a shape. You can find a shape you like, sculpt a form, or 3D print the perfect shape. 

Form shapes with ease on the Mayku Formbox Vacuum Former

Next, you'll vacuum form a sheet of thin plastic (PETG or polystyrene) over that shape using the FormBox, leaving you with a plastic mold of the shape; a three-dimensional profile that can be used in countless ways. The clear PETG sheets are great for multi-use molds for a variety of materials. Polystyrene sheets help create lasting objects that can enhance your designs.

Now you're ready to start using your mold!
