Every FormBox will arrive with enough material to get making straight out of the box. However, if you run out (because you’ve made loads of cool stuff) we’ll be setting up an online store to order from a whole selection of awesome materials.
You’ll also be able to order materials from 3rd party suppliers whether that’s online or you local hobby store. For what materials work, see below.

The FormBox works really well with thermo-plastics (plastics that go soft when warm). Here’s the technical terms for these:

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene ABS (the stuff Lego is made from)
Polystyrene PS (Product packaging)
Polycarbonate PC (Drinks bottles)
Polypropylene PP (Buckets, spades, chairs, everything!)
Polyethylene (sheet and foamed sheet)
PE (Insulating cases, bottles)
Polyvinyl Chloride PVC (straws, plastic pipes)
Acrylic PMMA (Light up signs)
We’ll also be developing our own range of exciting materials to be used with the FormBox.

We’ve tested the machine with materials between 0.1 and 1mm in thickness and they work very well. We’ll be testing more in the coming months and publishing the results.

As we're still in the development process we'll be shipping out in May 2017. I know this is a very far away date hope you understand. By backing this project you are not only pre-ordering a machine but helping us bring Mayku into the world.

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that enables people to raise funds for projects they want to bring into the world. You can reserve one of the first FormBox's in the rewards section of this page. By doing this, you’re helping us with the funds to build the machine and we’ll ship you one of the first units as soon as they are ready.

The size of the FormBox bed is 200mm x 200mm.

We've successfully tested placing multiple objects on the bed. The number of objects you can fit really depends on the height, width and shape of the objects you’re trying to mold.

The maximum width and length we’ve tried to mold is 150mm x 150mm. As a rule, we try not to vacuum form anything taller than it is wide.

Shipping times will vary depending on your location but we estimate between 2-3 weeks from despatch in May 2017.

Worldwide shipping will be $30.
Please note however that you may be responsible for import duties, fees and taxes applicable to your region.

We are aiming to ship FormBox’s worldwide but please be aware that you may be responsible for import duties, fees and taxes applicable to your region.

We've designed an adaptor that enables the FormBox to work with any vacuum cleaner.

Yes absolutely, the FormBox will ship with a plug adaptor for your country.
