Formech 508DT vacuum former

Formech’s 508DT is a user-friendly desktop machine with the power and capability to form demanding shapes and materials.

Plug and Play

The 508DT comes with a built-in vacuum pump and moulding release, so you don’t need an external vacuum source. It’s a pure Plug and Play machine – just connect to a standard electrical socket.

Maximised Forming Area

With a forming area of 482x432mm and a maximum draw depth of 185mm, the 508DT offers one of the largest spaces to work on for a desktop machine.

Heating Control

Energy-efficient quartz heaters with variable standby offer a rapid response, saving time and energy. Combined with four independently-controllable heating zones, the 508DT can easily form challenging shapes and materials.

What's in the box?

You'll find an electric plug, a table mesh and a sample pack of plastic sheets.
