Problem
Traditional methods of creating molds and prototypes often involve high costs, long lead times, and complex manufacturing processes, especially for small to medium-sized production runs. This can hinder innovation and limit accessibility for businesses and educational institutions seeking to produce custom parts quickly and efficiently.
Solution
Mayku offers a range of desktop pressure and vacuum forming machines designed to streamline the mold-making and prototyping process, bringing industrial-grade manufacturing capabilities to the benchtop. The Mayku Multiplier utilizes pressure forming technology to achieve sub-micron levels of precision, replicating intricate structures with high accuracy. The Mayku FormBox employs vacuum forming to create molds rapidly, enabling users to produce parts in minutes. These machines are compatible with a wide range of thermoformable materials, allowing for the creation of parts with varying properties, from flexible to rigid and food-safe.
