The FormBox Works with any Standard Vacuum
The FormBox is designed with adaptability in mind, accommodating any full-sized vacuum cleaner or shop-vac. Its internal auto-vacuum system not only simplifies the process but ensures timely and efficient suction. By just connecting your vacuum cleaner to its designated port, the FormBox automates the suction to match your specific needs, with quick and easy results.
Maximize Your 3D Printer with the FormBox
Use the FormBox alongside your 3D printer to truly get the most out of both machines. By first creating a design with your 3D printer, you can then leverage that object as a mold in the Mayku FormBox. This not only amplifies the potential of each device but also optimizes your overall output and efficiency, no matter the application.
Endless Opportunities with the Mayku FormBox
The Mayku FormBox vacuum former offers incredible versaility, all from a simple and easy to use machine. From crafting chocolate molds and soaps to creating product prototypes and architectural models, this desktop vacuum former is used by makers for countless applications.
