The Multiplier is Not a Vacuum Former
Unlike traditional forming, our patented pressure forming method applies consistent pressure across the entire mold, resulting in flawless reproduction of even the most intricate designs.

How It Works
1. Create your template
Use a 3D printer, CNC milling machine or other process to make a template to form over.
2. Select your material
Choose a material profile from the machine’s menu or use custom mode to create a custom profile of your own.
3. Insert your template
Wait whilst the Multiplier heats your material precisely, the auto-leveling system will keep it level whilst bringing it to the forming temperature.
4. Form your part
Close the machine and the Multiplier releases up to 4 atmospheres of pressure, exerting up to 5 tonnes of force on your material, pushing it into every detail of your template
Key Specifications
Industrial Heat & Pressure for Ultra-precision
Capture sub-micron details and achieve intricate designs with thick and thin materials. Produce parts with an accurate surface finish that replicates the sub-micron features of your template. Create isotropic parts, ensuring both structural integrity and aesthetic consistency.
Precision Control for Unrivaled Forming Quality
The Multiplier's auto-leveling system ensures a stable and consistent material surface while heating. The system allows for precise temperature control, enabling materials to reach their forming temperature without undergoing deformation or stretching. This allows for increased definition of the part, as sheets can be safely brought to higher temperatures than any other thermoformer for more detailed forming. The result is a reliable and precise thermoforming process suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Tuned Perfectly to Your Material
Our user-friendly interface lets you create, save, and edit custom-forming profiles for any compatible thermoformable material. This allows you to get consistent, high-quality results with your own materials. You can precisely control temperature and pressure, so you can adjust the level of detail to achieve your desired finish.
Scalable Prototyping and Production
Fast cycle times of two to thirty minutes, depending on the material type. No matter how large or how many templates you place on the bed, the forming cycle remains constant, giving you consistent time-per-part production.
User-friendly Operation for all Skill Levels
The Multiplier Pressure Former features an intuitive user interface designed for ease of use right out of the box. The interface is built to guide users in optimizing machine performance, ensuring consistent and reliable results. It is suitable for individuals with various backgrounds and skill levels, and our expert application engineers are always on hand to assist with any specialized projects.
Streamline Your Workflow In-house
Designed to fit on your bench-top, the Multiplier pressure former will always be within reach, enabling you to use it exactly when you need it. Eliminate the delays and uncertainties associated with outsourcing by taking control of the prototyping and production process yourself. Iterate faster, accelerate your learning curve, and speed up your journey from concept to production.
Reliability and Precision in Every Cycle
Engineered for consistent performance, our machine ensures high repeatability and replicability every time you operate it. Whether you're running a single part or multiple batches, you can count on uniformity in all the parts produced
