Formatron plugged into a customer's laptop.

What is it?

Formatron is a Vaquform, the world's first desktop vacuum former. A vacuum former works by heating a sheet of plastic and then pulling it down over an object that sits on a vacuum plate. The vacuum plate sucks away the air from the plastic sheet, helping it to stay formed to the object as it cools. You end up with a copy of the object you formed! You can make many things like sound diffusion panels and chocolate moulds!
