【Vacuum Forming Applications】Even small classrooms can do it! Diverse combinations, endless creativity!
Rebecca Maunder, a teacher at an all-girls school in New Zealand, leads her students in class to utilize various manufacturing tools, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and regular printers, etc. Through these desktop devices, she teaches students the concepts of product development, mass production, and creative applications; allowing students to understand new technologies while making daily necessities, thereby stimulating their creativity.
Rebecca's classroom has a FormBox, which is used in different courses and projects. It is used in conjunction with the school's 3D printers and laser cutters to impart knowledge in the "production and mass manufacturing" curriculum. In addition, Rebecca also provides instructional presentations on the steps for students.
She usually designs with Tinker CAD or Adobe Illustrator, then creates prototype objects with a laser cutter or 3D printer, and finally puts them into a FormBox vacuum forming machine for shell forming or mold making.
Unlike expensive industrial vacuum forming machines, the new desktop FormBox is affordable and safe to operate. Not only can it demonstrate the forming process to students, but it can also be easily combined with increasingly popular emerging technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting. Since the FormBox vacuum forming machine is very fast, capable of instant molding with a simple press and replicating sample prototypes in just a few seconds, students can immediately get their finished products. Furthermore, through the combination of different technologies, such as using a laser cutter to create their favorite shaped coasters, or achieving precise mold shapes for cookie cutters and toy packaging with a 3D printer.
Not only can it be used with other processing equipment, but also with clay, toys, plaster, and even for making food items like chocolates! Due to its high degree of freedom, this course is very popular with students. Just plug it into any household vacuum cleaner and it's ready to use. Do you have similar needs?
