【Pressure Forming】Mayku Multiplier Firmware Update! Creating a more free and convenient user experience!
Mayku previously held a competition for the Multiplier project, where participants had the chance to win £500 worth of sheets and a reducing plate! The reducing plate integrates seamlessly with the Mayku Multiplier, compressing the Multiplier's forming area to A4 or US letter format, thus providing access to hundreds of sheet suppliers worldwide and reducing waste!
Announcing the winner now!
Congratulations to Multiplier user Jonathan Hernandez for his entry: Motorcycle Underseat Tray made with 3mm HIPS sheets
This piece was created for a client who wanted to revive a popular, discontinued motorcycle part. The process involved 3D scanning the original tray before 3D printing the tool. After forming with the Mayku Multiplier, the final product was finished by cleaning the edges with a Dremel hand tool fitted with a sanding drum attachment.
A total of 50 trays were made — Mayku is delighted that the Multiplier was used to produce parts that are no longer visible! This might lead to a trend of reproducing old items!
What else can the Mayku Multiplier Desktop Pressure Former do?
The Mayku Multiplier is dubbed "the world's first desktop pressure former"! Unlike traditional vacuum forming, it uses pressure to press plastic sheets tightly onto the mold surface while using a heat source to soften the plastic, which then cools and solidifies into shape. This pressure forming can be applied to complex three-dimensional shapes, and because of the heating step, it is also called thermoforming. Thermoforming can be used in a wide range of manufacturing processes for various products, including those in the following industries:
• Automotive and Transportation
Thermoforming is widely used in the automotive and transportation industries to produce internal and external parts. These parts are made from materials such as ABS, which can withstand high temperatures and pressures.
• Medical Devices and Equipment
Thermoforming is an ideal process for manufacturing medical devices and equipment. It can provide sterilizable, durable, lightweight, and precise parts.
• Packaging and Displays
Thermoforming is widely used in the packaging and display industries. These parts are typically made from materials such as PETG, HIPS, and PVC, offering transparency and excellent impact resistance.
• Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Thermoforming is an ideal solution for producing electrical and electronic components. It offers lightweight, strong, and heat-resistant parts with precision and consistency.
• Consumer Goods
Thermoforming is an economical and effective method for producing consumer goods with fine detail and tight tolerances. It is an ideal solution for manufacturers who need to meet high standards.
• Industrial Equipment
Thermoforming is widely used across many industries and is a key method for prototyping and manufacturing application-specific parts.

What is the Mayku Multiplier Reducing Plate?
Open up a world of new materials and reduce waste with the reducing plate
By integrating seamlessly with the Mayku Multiplier, the reducing plate effectively shrinks the forming area to A4 or US letter format. This reduction provides access to numerous global sheet suppliers specializing in cut-to-size sheets, making it easier to source specific or specialized sheets.
Furthermore, when forming smaller parts, the reducing plate minimizes material waste, ensuring precise material usage. Since it uses less material, it also reduces the likelihood of curling on the final part.
With the reducing plate, you can also start forming thicker materials (over 5mm thick), allowing you to create rock-solid, finely detailed parts with a variety of different materials.
At the other end, the reducing plate can use extremely thin materials as low as 100 microns, enabling ultra-fine film applications!
