Vacuum forming used to be factory equipment. The Mayku FormBox sits on a desk, plugs into any vacuum cleaner, and pulls a heated plastic sheet over your object to make a mold in under a minute. Cast chocolate, concrete, resin, or plaster; make custom packaging, cosplay pieces, or dental-grade models. It takes sheets from 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
$899 direct from Mayku, with a full library of form sheets and project templates.
Who should buy: product designers, bakers, and makers who have outgrown 3D printing's speed. Who shouldn't: anyone wanting finished parts — it makes molds, not parts.
