No more waiting. Make your molds in minutes and see your products come to life. The Mayku FormBox is a simple, quick solution to developing your product range.

Keep your FormBox riding solo, or partner with a 3D printer to create even more. Either way, the Mayku FormBox offers you total power over the design and pace of production. Print one, mold 20 and start your production line from home.

Little Formbox, big potential

Unlike your soon to be created products, the FormBox wasn’t built overnight. We meticulously designed it to be the perfect size for your desktop. The simple design paired with a vacuum cleaner makes creating easier than ever.

Universal vacuum adaptor

Connect the Mayku FormBox using an adapter that fits any standard vacuum cleaner.

Auto-on off

When the trays are pulled down, an automatic trigger will turn on the suction of your connected vacuum cleaner.

Timer

A timer is activated after the plastic has been inserted and the temperature set. The built-in speakers will alert you when the plastic is ready to be formed.

Heat control

A 200w ceramic heater with a range of 160c to 340c, and a dial to precisely set the correct temperature for your plastic to form.

A library of ideas

If your not sure where to start or want some inspiration, we’ve built an online platform to guide you in your making. Find a range of templates to follow and build on and a variety of products to build with the Mayku FormBox.
