TAOYUAN, Taiwan, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Under the guidance of the Industry Accelerator & Incubation Center (IAIC) at

Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), Taiwan-based start-up company MY YARD

has developed the world's first smart vacuum forming machine FORMART that

effectively reduces the failure rate in the process of production and lowers

the barrier to entry for users while allowing them to easily make various

plastic molds at home. The product has received the Innovation Research Award

in Taiwan for its innovative technology and has become one of the most popular

self-production machines over the past few years. FORMART is very suitable for

making all kinds of product enclosures, plastic packaging, dessert molds,

static models and so on. It will be a very useful machine for designers in many

fields.

The desktop machine delivers industrial-level performance

The company plans to launch FORMART on Japanese crowdfunding platform GREEN

FUNDING in November following the successful showcase of the smart vacuum

former at 2020 CES and the raising of over 45 million yen (approx. US$396,000)

for the product on Taiwanese and US crowdfunding platforms. The vacuum former

has caught the attention of consumers upon its launch as it boasts the largest

forming area among desktop devices and features the unique auxiliary demolding

system, fast switching of plastic sheet sizes and unique suction control

technology.

FORMART is an easy-to-use machine that has received safety certifications in

several countries

Built on its success in Taiwan, the US and several other markets, MY YARD is

rolling out FORMART and its smaller version FORMART lite in Japan based on the

unique characteristics of the market in a move to meet the diverse needs of

Japanese consumers. The machine has received safety certifications in a number

of countries and regions worldwide, including Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan,

New Zealand and the US. The state-of-the-art uniform heating technology with

automatic temperature compensation, coupled with an industrial-level heater and

vacuum pump, further increases the success rate of making plastic blisters. In

addition, the product comes equipped with a 3.5-inch full color screen and a

single-click user interface that allow all users to operate it simply by

following animated instructions on the screen.

With several patents, the easy-to-use, intelligent vacuum former can

significantly reduce costs and time needed for producing molds. Compared with

traditional vacuum forming machines that take six to eight weeks and cost

NT$20,000 (approx. US$720) to NT$60,000 (approx. US$2,160) to complete the

production of molds, the device makes it possible for small innovative startups

to produce molds in just five minutes at a much lower cost, simultaneously

delivering both a professional and easily accessible experience by using new

technology.
