[DIY Parts Tray Tutorial] Create a Custom Organizer with the FORMART Vacuum Forming Machine

Is your workbench always a mess? Can’t find the tiny parts you just had in your hand? These are common problems for makers and DIY enthusiasts. With the FORMART vacuum forming machine, you can easily create a custom parts tray, improving your organization and workspace efficiency.

Common Organization Problems: Messy Desk & Hard-to-Find Components

Screws, motors, sensor modules, tools... Without proper storage, your workspace can quickly become chaotic. This not only lowers productivity but also increases the risk of losing or misplacing important components. Off-the-shelf storage boxes often don’t match the exact size of your tools.
