What can you make with a vacuum forming box?
Our vacuum forming boxes are suitable for many practical and creative applications – from classic model making and cosplay to packaging, molds and individual one-off pieces.
Canopies
Ideal for model aircraft and similar applications where transparent or precisely fitting canopies are required.
RC bodies
Perfect for model makers who want to create custom bodies, fairings or covers themselves.
Cosplay & props
For precisely fitting armor parts, masks, helmets, visors, fairings and lightweight props, custom plastic parts can be produced in small batches.
STL files & 3D models
Already have a 3D model? With the Tiefziehbox Online Configurator, you can automatically calculate a vacuum forming mold or a blister packaging template from an STL file directly in your browser.
Create STL mold template →Blister packaging
Very well suited for product packaging, protective packaging or small batches for hobby and commercial use.
Create blister from STL →Replacement parts & covers
When original parts are no longer available, suitable plastic parts can often be recreated yourself.
Praline & chocolate molds
For creative applications such as praline molds or chocolate molds, suitable molds and positive models can also be produced.
Ice cube molds
For original household ideas or gifts, custom molds for ice cubes or similar applications can also be made.
Lampshades
With the right materials, special lampshades and decorative molded parts for creative projects can also be produced.
Packaging
From presentation packaging to precisely fitting protective covers, many custom packaging solutions are possible.
Create packaging from STL →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
Heat the sheet
The plastic sheet is brought up to temperature until it can be formed cleanly.
Vacuum form over the mold
The heated material is pulled over the prepared model or mold using a vacuum.
Cut out the finished part
Finally, the formed part is trimmed and can be processed further right away.
