Yes, the Mayku Multiplier is designed to support a voltage range of 110 - 240V, ensuring compatibility across different territories.

When the machine is plugged in, it automatically detects the voltage being used, so it can be used in different territories (e.g. UK and US) without issue.

However, it's important to note that the plugs for the US, EU, and UK are different. Customers in the UK and EU regions can purchase an adapter if they need to move between these regions.

The Mayku Multiplier forms at up to 60 psi (4.1 bar), about 4 atmospheres and about four times the pressure of vacuum forming. Over the forming area that is up to 5 tonnes of force, which lets it form precise, detailed parts from production materials.

The Mayku Multiplier is capable of capturing incredibly fine detail less than 1 micrometer in size. This enables complex and finely detailed designs to be produced.

The Mayku Multiplier is capable of forming sharp corners effectively because it uses air pressure from above for the forming process. This means it can capture precise, sharp edges and corners in the formed objects. In some cases it may be necessary to incorporate airholes in your template to ensure optimal results during the forming process.

The Mayku Multiplier measures the sheet's temperature with a built-in infrared sensor, and levels the sheet automatically while it heats.

During operation, the interior temperature of the dome reaches approximately 80 °C (176 °F). It's important to note that the external operating temperature remains relatively low in order to comply with safety regulations. This means that the outer surface of the machine remains cool to the touch, allowing for safe handling during operation.

The maximum sheet temperature inside the dome can reach up to 225 °C (437 °F). The external operating temperature is kept very low to comply with safety regulations, ensuring that the outside box and surfaces of the machine remain cool to the touch.

The Mayku Multiplier features a circular bed with a diameter of 400 mm (15.7 in) and a height of 160 mm (6.3 in).

For wider templates, such as in this example, the maximum height allowed is 60 mm (2.4 in).

The maximum design space is a circular base of 380 mm (15.0 in) diameter, a height of 160 mm (6.3 in) and a template volume of up to about 3.5 L. Keep in mind that templates need a small margin, but you can create larger objects by using multi-part molds or assembling multiple pieces during the build.

Tall and narrow templates, up to 160 mm (6.3 in), can be placed in the center of the forming bed.

Because the Mayku Multiplier has a dome-shaped chamber, you’ll need to take the height and dimensions of your template into consideration, especially if you are forming large templates or multiple templates.

Templates with a height of 6 cm or more can prevent the lid from closing properly.

Firmware 1.4 lets you easily level the sheet by using the up arrow to set it 1 cm above and the down arrow to set it 1 cm below the desired level. Be sure to load your template after the sheet has finished heating.

If you wish to utilize the entire forming bed, the template (or templates) must be shallower, as demonstrated in this example.

The figure that matters for forming is the chamber pressure: up to 60 psi (4.1 bar). The compressor is built in, so the Multiplier needs no shop air, just a standard wall outlet.

No, the Mayku Multiplier operates solely with pressure. This design approach aims to simplify the machine and make it more cost-effective, eliminating the need for suction at smaller scales compared to industrial counterparts.

Pressure-based technology naturally functions more effectively within a spherical shape. The circular shape enables efficient pressure distribution, leading to consistent and reliable forming results.

Taking into account the small margin required around the template, the maximum design space within the Mayku Multiplier is a circular base of 380mm in diameter. This means that for rectangular shapes, the dimensions need to fit within the limitations of the circular base. 

The reducing plate allows you to use A4 or US letter format sheets, as well as adding an optional raised tray for your molds. With the A4 Reducing Plate the forming area is 250 x 180 mm (9.8 x 7.1 in).

For larger shapes that exceed the maximum design space, it may be possible to create them using a multi-part mold, allowing for the assembly of multiple pieces.

The maximum power consumption of the Mayku Multiplier is 1600W. The voltage and current requirements depend on your region. For regions operating on 240V, the Mayku Multiplier requires 6A, while for regions operating on 120V, it requires 12A. The machine is designed to be compatible with a standard IEC cable C13/C14.

The Mayku Multiplier operates at a maximum noise level of approximately 65 dB when at its loudest. During the charging and pressure buildup phase, the noise level typically ranges from around 55 to 60 dB. When the machine off-gases and disperses pressure, the pressure tank or dome reaches around 65 dB. It's worth noting that this noise level is below the threshold that would require ear protection.

Considering the noise levels mentioned, it is generally safe to use the Mayku Multiplier in a home environment. However, it's important to exercise caution and use the machine in accordance with the provided instructions and safety guidelines to ensure safe operation and minimize any potential disruptions.

You can adjust the machine's feet by turning them to extend or retract, ensuring level placement. Ideally, the Mayku Multiplier should be level, but it only affects operation during tank draining.

No, the Mayku Multiplier is designed to handle one sheet per form to maintain consistent heating and level control.
