The "STEAM" education reform promoted by the United States combines five main elements: "Science," "Technology," "Engineering," "Art," and "Mathematics," and is gradually becoming a key to future competitiveness. We previously shared with you the new opportunities for AI artificial intelligence and STEAM talent transformation ( click to view ).
William Ha, a professional technical engineer, founded the "STEAMaker" team in Hong Kong. The team sets up learning spaces in various schools and communities, offering a variety of training courses for instructors, technicians, engineers, designers, and artists. The goal is to use "STEAM" education to have an innovative impact on society.
William trains students with the goal of becoming "Train-the-Trainers." In one project, he collaborated with the Mayku Form box team to create a fun "lighter" shaped candle using vacuum forming technology.
Find an object you like, or use a 3D printer to create a candle shape according to your preference. After completion, put the object into a vacuum forming machine, add vacuum forming material sheets, press down the handle, and in just 3 seconds, a custom-made mold will be completed!
After unmolding, thread the candle wick into the mold, pour in the candle wax (you can also add various fragrance essential oils), and wait for it to solidify. Your own scented candle is now complete.
Learn this simple technique and you'll be able to apply it in countless ways! Create molds with all sorts of unique shapes, freeing any handicraft from the limitations of conventional molds; the same principle can also be applied to the food industry. FormBox vacuum forming material sheets , which are certified for food safety, can be used with peace of mind whether you're injecting chocolate, jelly, or dough.
With the rapid development of technology, processing technologies such as 3D printing and vacuum forming are no longer limited to the industrial field. Desktop equipment allows you to operate it yourself at home or in your studio, successfully bringing industrial technology closer to everyday life. Did you enjoy this sharing?
