🛠 Equipment Needed for FORMART Smart Vacuum Forming

To successfully build your DIY motor-powered boat, you will need the following tools:

• FORMART Smart Vacuum Forming Machine – for shaping the boat hull
• FLUX Ador Laser Cutter– to cut wooden parts precisely
• Phrozen 3D Printer– for printing the mold
• Hot Glue Gun – to assemble all components

📌 Materials Required

• 2.5mm Laser-cut Wooden Board
• HIPS Plastic Sheet (Compatible with FORMART vacuum forming)
• ABS Like Photopolymer Resin
• Grease (for waterproofing)
• DC Motors × 2
• Propeller & Drive Shaft

🚀 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: 3D Print the Boat Mold

To begin, download the STL 3D model file and print the boat mold using a Phrozen 3D printer. Ensure the surface is smooth for a high-quality FORMART vacuum forming result.
