Description

The FormBox is a compact vacuum forming machine for producing molds in a few seconds. You place an object on the bed, cover it with a plastic sheet and the machine forms a mold around it. It shortens the prototyping cycle and works with a wide range of sheet and casting materials, which makes it a good fit for prototyping.

How it works

  • Create: design and 3D print an object, sculpt one by hand or pick any existing shape to place on the FormBox bed.
  • Form: the sheet covers the object and the FormBox forms a mold of it in a few seconds.
  • Multiply: fill the mold with materials such as chocolate, resin, plaster or concrete to produce your own collection of objects.
