Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • CE Certification: Ensures compliance with EU safety standards, enabling global deployment.
    • Material Versatility: Supports 11+ plastics, reducing tooling costs for multi-material projects.
    • Clamshell Design: Allows precise mold alignment for complex geometries.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Ideal for startups or workshops prioritizing affordability and manual control.
    • Advanced Model: Best for medium-scale production needing faster cycles and tighter temperature precision.
    • Pro Model: Suited for high-volume industries requiring automation and thick-material forming (e.g., automotive parts).

With the Pro Model’s PID Smart Control, you can achieve ±1°C accuracy, minimizing material warping. Its 6mm thickness capacity enables heavy-duty applications like industrial trays. Pair this with ABS plastic for chemical resistance, creating durable components that outlast traditional materials by 30%.
