[Vacuum Forming Applications] Learn a new skill in 3 seconds and you'll be no match for heavy rain and flooding!


Recent flooding in China has caused disruption to many people's lives. Don't worry! Learn these techniques in just 3 seconds, and you'll be no longer afraid of torrential rain and flooding. The drainage system will be aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly, and fun for family time! See the DIY process below:



In recent years, global climate change has been significant. A small town in the Netherlands was flooded due to sudden rainfall. To solve the waterlogging problem, renowned product designer Luuk Wiehink designed a water pipe system to disperse rainwater. At the same time, he combined vacuum forming technology in a children's workshop to create a "gargoyle" shaped water outlet, allowing children to learn about environmental protection concepts from an early age.


In horror movies, you've probably seen gargoyles appearing around castles. They are actually ancient French guardian spirits and an important element in traditional French architecture. They mainly serve as outlets for rainwater to drain from houses, and are usually designed to drain water from the gargoyles' open mouths to divert rainwater from the roof and reduce the damage from sudden downpours.



Luke led the children to design gargoyle shapes using clay, then put them into the FormBox vacuum forming machine and used FormBox vacuum forming material sheets that are completely recyclable to vacuum form the shapes. The mold can be completed in just a few seconds. After the model is easily demolded, the material sheets are cut along the shape and then combined with the water pipes to create interesting water outlets!



" FormBox is simple to set up and very easy to use. Children can quickly modify and try to implement every imaginative design idea. Also, because of its lightweight desktop body, it is easy to carry and can be used for learning and creative inspiration outdoors!" Luke said excitedly.



The versatile FormBox vacuum forming machine is safe and reusable, allowing for the infinite replication of a single mold. Children can take home handmade gargoyle drain holes and use them with water pipes to not only drain stagnant water but also beautify the community environment!

Through a safe and fun process, unleash your imagination and create a beautiful environment. Desktop machines under 30,000 NTD allow you to produce industrial-quality products in your own studio.
