Rebecca Maunder teaches at a girls' school in New Zealand. In her classes, she guides her students to use a variety of manufacturing tools, such as 3D printers , laser cutters , and regular printers. Through these desktop devices , she teaches students concepts of product development, mass production, and creative applications. Students learn about new technologies while creating everyday items, thereby stimulating their creativity.
In Rebecca's classroom, there is a FormBox that is used in different courses and projects. It is used in conjunction with the school's 3D printer and laser cutter to teach relevant knowledge in the "Production and Mass Manufacturing" course. In addition, Rebecca also provides students with instructional brochures on how to use it.
She typically uses Tinker CAD or Adobe Illustrator to draw, then uses a laser cutter or 3D printer to create prototypes, and finally puts them into a FormBox vacuum forming machine for plastic shell or mold making.
Unlike traditional industrial vacuum forming machines , which are very expensive, the new desktop FormBox is affordable and safe to operate. It not only demonstrates the forming process to students but also integrates seamlessly with increasingly common emerging technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting. Because the FormBox vacuum forming machine is extremely fast—it shapes instantly with a simple press of both hands, replicating a prototype in seconds—students can immediately obtain finished products. Furthermore, by combining different technologies, students can create their own custom-shaped coasters using laser cutting , or achieve precise shapes using 3D printing for cookie cutters, toy packaging, and more.
Not only can it be used with other processing equipment, but it can also be used to make clay, toys, plaster, and even food products like chocolate! Its high degree of flexibility makes this course popular with students. It can be used immediately by plugging it into any household vacuum cleaner. Do you have a similar need?
