Vacuum forming, also known as thermoforming, is an important product development tool in both industrial applications and maker manufacturing. It's a type of thermoforming technology that's quick and convenient for both product packaging and prototype replication. The world's first benchtop vacuum forming machine , Vaquform DT2, not only produces beautiful results at an affordable price but is also portable and space-saving. Let's see how it creates Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet:
Isn't that amazing! When paired with a 3D printer, even the initial hand-drawn prototypes can be printed directly, making small-batch, high-variety production much easier and more convenient. Besides its compact size, the Vaquform DT2 has many other features:
Vaquform 's handles are designed for both left- and right-handed users, allowing for one-handed operation. The handles also feature an automatic locking function when pressed down, adapting to the height of various objects in rows, enabling users to complete all tasks quickly and effortlessly.
Vaquform DT2 's pioneering concept is to complement 3D printers with various molding tools such as laser cutters and CNC manufacturing equipment. With a maximum shaping area of 280x200mm and a maximum height of 200mm, it is an ideal choice to be paired with desktop 3D printers .
All built-in systems and power supplies can be operated through a simple and intuitive interface, eliminating complicated usage procedures. Furthermore, the included infrared temperature monitoring system and heating presets can precisely heat the material board during preparation to achieve the best molded appearance.
The Vaquform DT2 features an internal ceramic heating system that provides rapid and uniform heating, allowing users to heat plastic sheets within minutes. Its built-in mixing vacuum provides high-precision mold detail with each contraction. The Vaquform DT2 can use material sheets from 0.3mm to 3mm thick (330mm x 250mm in area), is suitable for most small to medium-sized parts, and can be used with any power supply between 100V and 240V AC.
Vaquforms ' secret to industrial-grade power lies in its built-in impeller-piston system (patent pending), which provides high airflow and high vacuum pressure, up to 4 times more powerful than the well-known high-powered vacuum cleaner brand Shop-Vac.
After using a 3D printer to print a product prototype, a vacuum forming machine is then used to replicate the shell mold. This method can quickly adapt to the operational needs of various small and medium-sized enterprises, including small-scale mass production, product development, and packaging. Furthermore, its relatively affordable price and compact size make it suitable for use in general studios, schools, and maker spaces.
