The Mayku FormBox is compatible with a range of materials and thicknesses. It works well with thermoplastics (plastics that go soft when warm). Here’s the technical terms for these:
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene ABS (the stuff Lego is made from)
- Polystyrene PS (Product packaging)
- Polycarbonate PC (Drinks bottles)
- Polypropylene PP (Buckets, spades, garden chairs, everything!)
- Polyethylene (Plastic wrap and foamed sheet)
- PE (Insulating cases, bottles)
- Polyvinyl Chloride PVC (Plastic straws, plastic pipes)
- Acrylic PMMA (Light-up signs)
