    MY YARD FORMART S

    A compact all-in-one vacuum former with a built-in -90 kPa vacuum pump and quartz heater. Turn 3D prints and everyday objects into moulds, trays and shells, right from your desk.

    The FORMART S is the compact member of MY YARD's FORMART family. It measures 50 × 46 × 31 cm, uses A4-size plastic sheets (300 × 205 mm) and has its vacuum pump built in, so there is no vacuum cleaner or compressor to connect. Original MY YARD sheets and third-party sheets both work.

    A CNC-machined wooden forming bed absorbs less heat, which helps the sheet capture finer detail. A preheating programme, a sheet-dehumidifying function against air bubbles and a material database with 17 presets and 5 user slots make consistent results quick to reach, in Simple mode with its three smart modules or with full control in Advanced mode.

    What Makes It Different

    🌀

    Built-in industrial pump

    An AC induction pump with -90 kPa suction and adjustable flow rate pulls the sheet tight around fine detail, with nothing extra to plug in.

    🪵

    CNC wooden forming bed

    Wood absorbs less heat than metal, so moulds come out with finer, more intricate detail.

    🔥

    Quartz heating

    Carbon-fibre quartz heater tubes (90–230 °C) heat the sheet evenly, with a 3-minute rapid heating cycle.

    💧

    Preheat & dehumidify

    Built-in programmes dry moisture out of the sheet and preheat it, preventing bubbles and widening the range of formable materials.

    🔒

    Quick-lock frame

    The patented dual-locking frame clamps the sheet with a turn of the handle and stops at any height, so you can load the next sheet without removing the formed part.

    🎛️

    Simple or Advanced mode

    Three smart modules get beginners started; Advanced mode gives experienced users full control.

    Choose the FORMART S if your parts fit on an A4-size sheet and desk space matters: jewellery, chocolates, soap, small packaging and classroom projects. Choose the FORMART SE when you need the larger 500 × 300 mm format for masks, lampshades, trays and bigger packaging, with the option to switch down to smaller sheets. Choose the FORMART 2 if you form regularly: it adds QR-code material detection, automatic mould release, a built-in vacuum sensor and dual cooling fans to the same large format.

    Which sheets fit the FORMART S?

    The FORMART S takes one sheet size: 300 × 205 mm (A4-size). All four MY YARD materials are available in that size:

    The 500 × 300 mm sheet packs are made for the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 and do not fit the FORMART S. The Microporous Forming Bed fits all FORMART models and is recommended for LDPE and PP sheets. The Volume Control Kit is for the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 only; the FORMART S comes with its own webbing remover kit.

    Vacuum forming over 3D-printed moulds

    If you own a 3D printer, a vacuum former turns one print into many parts. Print the master once, then form chocolate moulds, packaging inserts and blister shells, cosplay armour and masks, or casting moulds for resin, plaster, soap and concrete. MY YARD confirms that existing objects and 3D-printed parts can both be used as moulds.

    • Draft angle: design in more than 3° so the formed sheet releases cleanly.
    • Vent holes: add 1.5–2 mm holes in recessed areas so the vacuum reaches them.
    • Proportions: keep a moderate height-to-width ratio; tall, narrow objects are harder to form.
    • Strength: add internal supports to thin-walled or fragile prints so they withstand the vacuum.
    • Clean and dry: water or debris drawn into the vacuum line can damage the pump.

    How long does a printed mould last? In MY YARD's tests, PLA prints withstood about 3–5 formings, ABS prints about 30–50 and resin prints hundreds. For longer runs, MY YARD suggests forming a first shell, casting a plaster or cement copy of the mould from it, and producing from that.

    What You Can Make

    • Chocolate and confectionery moulds from 3D-printed masters, using Transparent PET
    • Casting moulds for epoxy resin, plaster, soap and concrete, using LDPE or HIPS
    • Packaging prototypes: blister shells, inserts and trays
    • Jewellery, cosplay and model parts: small masks, props and accessories
    • Education and maker spaces: a compact, easy-to-handle introduction to thermoforming

    Safety & workspace

    MY YARD states that its own PET, PP, TPU, LDPE and HIPS sheets release no toxic gas when formed, though some odour is possible, and recommends using the machine in a well-ventilated area. Third-party PVC, PC and ABS sheets can release harmful fumes when heated: check with your sheet supplier, ventilate well and follow the material's safety guidance. The heater and frame get hot, so use the heat-resistant gloves supplied.

    Questions About the FORMART S

    Which plastic sheets can I use in the FORMART S?

    A4-size sheets of 300 × 205 mm, 0.3 to 3.0 mm thick. MY YARD supplies PET, HIPS, LDPE and TPU in that size, and third-party sheets work too: the built-in database covers materials such as PLA, PETG, PS, PE, HDPE, ABS, PP, PMMA, PC and KYDEX, and you can save your own settings in 5 user slots.

    Will 500 × 300 mm sheets fit the FORMART S?

    No. The FORMART S only takes 300 × 205 mm (A4-size) sheets. The 500 × 300 mm packs are for the FORMART SE and FORMART 2.

    Can I vacuum form over a 3D-printed PLA mould?

    Yes. The sheet is thin and cools quickly, so a printed mould is not necessarily damaged. In MY YARD's tests a PLA mould lasted about 3–5 formings, ABS about 30–50 and resin hundreds. For longer runs, cast a plaster or cement copy from the first formed shell and work from that.

    Do I need a separate vacuum cleaner or compressor?

    No. Every FORMART has its vacuum pump built in, rated at -90 kPa, together with the heater. You only need a mains socket.

    Can I make chocolate moulds with it?

    Yes. MY YARD lists chocolate moulds as a main use of its Transparent PET sheets, which are suitable for food-related applications. Form the sheet within three seconds of reaching temperature to avoid whitening.
