【Vacuum Forming Application】CNC Custom Cutlery Design, Blister Packaging in 3 Seconds!
Make your own original products, this is how CNC enthusiasts choose! From graters, kitchen knives, furniture, Pokémon commemorative balls, to mechanical modifications; custom packaging without outsourcing, vacuum forming in just 3 seconds, effortless thermoforming, diverse materials to choose from, a one-stop production line. See the results immediately:
When developing innovative products, 3D printing with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is often used. But have you ever considered other options besides additive manufacturing? Winston Moy, an American enthusiast of CNC technology, uses industrial CNC milling machines (subtractive manufacturing) to shape products by cutting raw material blocks with tools (Click here to see: Automatic tool change, fast metal part engraving!). He has created many original products, from graters, kitchen knives, furniture, Pokémon commemorative balls, to mechanical modifications!
After creating original products, can you also handle the packaging yourself? Firstly, Winston uses an industrial CNC milling machine to design a wooden spoon and then integrates vacuum forming technology into the production line to create blister packaging for the wooden spoon. Individual studios and businesses can choose Roland desktop CNC milling machines. Their compact size allows for efficient use of space while providing industrial-grade performance.
Using 3D modeling software (Click here to see: 3 free software options, easy modeling without outsourcing!), design the packaging shell based on the actual spoon size and CNC engrave it. Then, place the packaging model into the FormBox vacuum forming machine with vacuum forming material sheets. Press the machine for 3 seconds to vacuum form, and you can quickly test the packaging design. After completion, the easy demolding feature will not damage the surface of the thermoformed object.
(You can choose FormBox clear casting sheets in two thicknesses, 0.5mm and 1mm, or 0.5mm thick white sheets. These food-safe certified sheets are also suitable for the food industry.)
With the FormBox desktop vacuum forming machine, you can quickly test packaging designs in minutes. It only requires a household vacuum cleaner for suction, or you can switch to an industrial vacuum cleaner for stronger suction if needed.
Whether it's the CNC milling process or the instant vacuum forming, isn't it incredibly satisfying! Industrial technology is becoming increasingly integrated into daily life. In the past, manufacturing relied on outsourcing to factories. Now, with desktop equipment, it can be easily achieved in personal studios, corporate offices, and schools! This saves time, accelerates development efficiency, and shortens delivery times, creating a complete, from-scratch production line.
