Alternative To 3D Printing: It's Still 3D And It Is Affordable

FormBox Takes on 3D Printers with an Instant Vacuum Former

Natt Garun | May 7, 2016

The past decade has brought on a new kind of industrial revolution, a lot of which is thanks to how prevalent 3D printers have become. From full-sized versions to mini-desktop styles, you can find 3D printers for about the cost of a cheap laptop, or go to stores like Staples to get your prototypes printed out.
But one thing most 3D printers still have in common: Products take a while to print, set, and cool. That’s where Mayku’s FormBox wants to entice the at-home makers.
