A vacuum forming machine is a practical device that can be used in a few ways and we’re here today to discuss it, and learn how to prepare one using ZMorph VX Multitool 3D Printer.

What Do I Need a Vacuum Forming Machine For?

The simple DIY vacuum forming machine you can make using ZMorph VX All-in-One 3D Printer is a nifty device that can be used for packing your prints. If you run a small business and sell your projects, the vacuum former will help you to prepare professional-looking plastic bundles ready for shipping. The best thing about that is that you can create it with minimum cost on the same machine you’re already using, so no need for extra expenses.

You can also use the apparatus to form custom shapes and designs on plastic sheets. They don’t necessarily have to be made for packaging purposes but rather for art and similar applications.

It’s up to you how you will use your DIY vacuum former. This is just an example of how you can use one tool (namely, ZMorph VX) to make another tool.
