3D Printers #
- 10x Prusa MK3S+ | Our standard Fused Deposition Modeling (or FDM) printers. They feature a print-bed volume of 25 × 21 × 21cm (H × W × L). The filament types we use are PLA, PETG, ABS and TPE, with PLA being your most commonly used plastics.
- Form 3 and Form 3L | Our Stereolithography (SLA) printers that make use of special blends of Resin rather than spools of plastic. The Form 3 features a print-bed volume of 18.5 ×14.5 × 14.5cm (H×W×L), and the Form 3L has a volume of 20 × 33.5 × 30cm (H × W × L).

Vacuum Former #
- Mayku FormBox | Our desktop vacuum former that is ideal for making molds or custom packing materials. The vacuum former uses 0.5mm sheets of plastics that are completely recyclable, and even partly made from recycled plastic themselves. The maximum size of the vacuum former is 130 × 200 × 200mm (H × W × L).
