Mayku FormBox Vacuum Former/Mold Maker

Why You’ll Love It

Provides advanced manufacturing technology in a space no larger than a laptop

If you’re looking for a simple way to get kids excited about making, but you’re restricted by space limitations, the versatile, affordable, and easy-to-use FormBox is your answer! FormBox works with a wide range of materials to kick-start kids’ creativity.

Start by plugging any household vacuum cleaner into the built-in port to utilize its suction power. Next, you’ll add a cast or form sheet and place a template item on the unit’s bed. When you pull the sheet down, it forms around the shape, creating an instant mold in seconds. Once you have a mold, fill it with the casting material of your choice to create a high-quality replica.

Beginners can create simple forms using everyday item as templates, from potatoes to plasticine. More experienced users can make complex creations in combination with other machines, like 3D printers and laser cutters.
