Annhua Dental Vacuum Forming Machine Vacuum Former Machine, Laboratory Dental Vacuum Forming Molding Dental Vacuum Former

I needed a small vacu-form machine for a project that I am working on so I thought that I would take a chance on this based on price. What did I have to lose? On the outside it appears pretty well built. I did not open it up to see what is inside. It has worked surprisingly well with good consistent results but here are my recommendations. 1.)Buy the manufacturers Dental Splint material to use with it. I am using the 1.5mm hard splint material. It is a little bit expensive but works better than other materials I have tried. 2.)Watch some YouTube videos on how it works. They help. 3.)Getting the material temperature correct is key. Rather than go by time, I look underneath the splint material and wait until the sag reaches the bottom of the frame. Then turn on the vacuum, turn off the heat and drop the frame onto the mold. FYI, I am making my molds on a 3d Resin Printer. The resin prints appear to withstand the heat of the machine.

Great product! I wanted this to creat molds from my 3D prints. This is not a super advanced product, but it gets the job done and has made mold making so much easier and faster. From turning on the machine and having a mold takes about 5 minutes.Pros:Great value, easy entry point for vacuum forming, does what’s advertised and moreCons:Poor packaging, minimal instructions

The quality of the Annhua Dental Vacuum Forming Machine is absolutely terrible. The unit completely failed after very little use, with the heater stopping entirely and no heat output.When I contacted the seller for help, they initially promised a replacement or refund. However, after that, they made me troubleshoot the machine extensively, even asking me to disassemble almost all parts of the vacuum, which is completely unreasonable for a customer to do — especially for a brand-new product that should have worked properly.Despite confirming a clear hardware malfunction, the seller refused to honor their own promise. Instead, they pushed all responsibility onto Amazon, showing they have no real customer support and no intention of standing behind their defective products.This was an extremely frustrating and dishonest experience. The product is low-quality, and the service is even worse. I highly recommend avoiding this seller and their products at all costs. Save yourself the trouble and buy from a reputable brand instead.

This little unit worked exactly as advertised and did a stellar job making replacement retainers. The key thing was to wait until the plastic sagged about 1-2 cm below the bottom surface of its mounting and then drop the softened plastic onto the mold. Cutting the 1.5mm thick plastic sheet I used definitely required more than scissors. I used a small Dremel circular saw. Make sure to peel off any protective films on the plastic pieces before using them!!! If the molded part is difficult to remove at the end just put into some hot water and then pry off. Great product so far.

Used vacuum forming machine to make plastic windshields for model car kits. PET-G plastic is recommended in this application. Monitoring plastic temperature is key to making good parts. Recommend a laser non-contact thermometer to monitor plastic temperature. Machine is compact, solidly built and works reliably.

Have been using the unit pretty heavily over the past three weeks without any issues. I am using it with styrene and PETE sheets mostly. The sheet frame is easy to load and engage, and operates like it is built to last. The vacuum unit is strong enough to pull tight and fast. Great for small parts.

It does what it says. Made my retainer from a set of impressions my orthodontist gave me.

I need to make new night guards every week or my teeth get out of alignment from my tongue thrusting upon the back of my top teeth. This causes my night guard to get misshaped. Because of this, my teeth start to separate and I get a huge gap between the front of my upper teeth. I saw on YouTube how to make your own night guards. The first pair I made were too thin but on the second pair I had the process down. Now each week, I make myself a new pair and my teeth stay perfectly aligned for about a dollar a pair.
