Upload an STL file and calculate a vacuum forming mold or blister packaging

Upload your 3D model and automatically calculate an STL mold template for a vacuum-formed component or blister packaging. Preview and geometric analysis are free – you only buy the generated STL mold template if the result suits your project.

The online tool also checks the size of the object and shows which vacuum forming box is suitable for your project. This is especially helpful if you do not yet own a vacuum forming box and want to know before buying whether Nano, Professional or Colossos is the better fit.

Vacuum forming is this simple

1

Heat the sheet

The plastic sheet is brought up to temperature until it can be formed cleanly.

2

Vacuum form over the mold

The heated material is pulled over the prepared model or mold using a vacuum.

3

Cut out the finished part

Finally, the formed part is trimmed and can be processed further right away.
