Introducing the Vaquform DT2 Desktop Vacuum Former.
Vaquform DT2 is a manually operated vacuum forming machine that can produce industrial-grade plastic moldings. The DT2 is compact enough to fit on a desktop, which makes it ideal for use in schools, libraries and makerspaces.
This machine is the first of its kind to provide a user a digital interface that is similar to what you might find in your smart appliances. There are pre-programmed process controls and user sensors that make it easy to use.
The powerful ceramic heaters allow you to prepare the plastic sheet in a few minutes, while the built-in hybrid vacuum gives high accuracy and mold detail each production cycle.
Key Features of the Vaquform DT2 Deskop Vacuum Former:
Easy To Use: The built-in process controls and ergonomic design make forming effortless.
Automatic Heating: Regulated by sensors, the industrial grade ceramic heaters ensure consistent and safe heating of plastic sheets.
Precise Controls: Customize the temperature (up to 1°) and vacuum power needed for each pull.
Built-In Hybrid Vacuum: A patent-pending system that combines high airflow and vacuum, speed and power.
