Use the Mayku FormBox Desktop Vacuum Former in the classroom to help students create their own projects and increase student engagement.

The FormBox fits perfectly into your workspace, so you or students can create a factory finished item without the factory! It can be used to craft by hand or partner with a 3D printer.

Testimonials
Luke Wiehink, an Environmental Conservation Teacher in the Netherlands: “The FormBox is fast to set up and really easy to use. For children participating in my workshops, it’s always magical to see their (sometimes rough) clay mold, being formed into a (comical, beautiful, tough, etc) plastic gargoyle. Works every time!”
David Baker, Teacher from London: “The Mayku FormBox is a great tool to get students engaged in product design from a young age.”
