Great things happen when you combine a vacuum former with other maker tools or technologies! For example, Q-ter used our vacuum former to create a unique shell for their educational robot.

The Q-ter robot is an educational tool to help children learn all kinds of STEM skills. Thanks to its basic square shape, the robot is easy to customise. Children can use graphical design software to design and 3D print their own shell or they can decorate their robot by hand. Q-ter robots are also easy to assemble, so every child can make their own unique robot.

To make the robot move, there is an easy to use visual programming tool. By setting some buttons and numbers, your robot will be dancing in no time!
