Yes, for small-batch production. The Mayku Multiplier is a benchtop pressure former used in production for dental appliances, microfluidic chips, motorsport parts, chocolate molds, electronics enclosures and replacement parts. Each cycle takes minutes, with seconds of hands-on time, however many parts are on the bed. It is not built for high-volume, automated lines.

What the Multiplier does per pull, and the machine limits that set how much you can make. Every figure here is one we can source. Where we don't have a measured number yet, we say so.
| Measure | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle time, PETG dental retainers on the 7-Shot Reducing Plate | About 4 minutes per pull, loading included | Timed at Bridge Dental Lab |
| Cycle time, microfluidic chip molds | 12 minutes per cycle, 6 molds per batch (about 2 minutes per mold) | Rapid Fluidics case study |
| Time per part, HIPS lampshades | About 10 minutes per finished part, including template cooling | 3DNet case study |
| Cycle time, other materials and parts | Minutes per cycle, depending on material and thickness | Full timings by material not yet published |
| Parts per pull, full bed | As many as fit the 380 mm (15.0 in) forming area: for example, up to 20 dental appliances on one 428 mm (16.9 in) Mayku sheet, or 6 microfluidic chip molds | Forming area; Mayku sheet layout; Rapid Fluidics case study |
| Parts per pull, 7-Shot Reducing Plate (dental) | Up to 7, on 120 mm (4.7 in) or 125 mm (4.9 in) dental blanks | Plate layout |
| Cycle time vs number of parts | The same forming cycle, however many templates are on the bed | Machine behavior |
| Hands-on time per pull | Seconds of hands-on time | Not yet timed to a published figure |
| Active labor per appliance (customer figure) | 0.57 min per appliance at Bridge Dental Lab, on the 7-Shot Reducing Plate | Customer figure |
| Cost per part (customer figure) | €9.80 per lampshade across a run of 50, template included, against €60 by SLA 3D printing | 3DNet case study |
| Forming area | 380 mm (15.0 in) diameter circle on the full bed; 250 x 180 mm (9.8 x 7.1 in) with the A4 Reducing Plate | Machine spec |
| Sheet thickness | 0.1 to 5 mm (0.004 to 0.20 in) on the full bed; 0.1 to 8 mm (0.004 to 0.31 in) with the A4 Reducing Plate | Machine spec |
| Forming pressure | Up to 60 psi (4.1 bar), from a built-in compressor: no shop air needed | Machine spec |
| Power | 110 to 240 V from a standard wall outlet, 1600 W maximum | Machine spec |
Parts per 8-hour shift, repeatability and maintenance interval are not in this table because we have not yet published measured figures for them. See how we measured, below.
The 4-minute pull was timed at Bridge Dental Lab in April 2026: PETG retainers on the 7-Shot Reducing Plate, seven appliances per pull, with loading included in the time.
The 0.57 minutes of active labor per appliance is Bridge Dental Lab's own figure for its 7-Shot production.
The microfluidic, lampshade and cost-per-part figures come from the published Rapid Fluidics and 3DNet case studies, as those customers reported them. We did not time them ourselves.
Parts per pull, forming area, thickness, pressure and power are machine and sheet-layout figures, not timed results.
This is thin, and we would rather say so than overstate it. It is one timed measurement in one lab, not a controlled test, and we have not yet published a written test protocol. We also have not published measured figures for repeatability (part-to-part variation), maintenance intervals, parts per 8-hour shift, or full cycle times for other materials and for dental work on the 428 mm sheet. Until we have measured them, we leave them out. If one of them decides your purchase, ask us and we'll tell you what we know for your part.
Over 1,000 Multipliers are in use across dental labs, packaging and product teams, universities, and studios. These customers make parts for sale on it.
A DAMAS-accredited lab that has run the Multiplier for more than two years on retainers, aligners, night guards and bleaching trays.
Read the Bridge Dental case study"This has taken pressure forming to a new level. The more we scale, the more technicians we need, and this reduces that urgency."
Night guards, Essix retainers, bleaching trays and sports guards, made in-house.
Read the George Szekely case study"We're saving 5 hours each day, which adds up to over 1,200 hours per year. We can produce nightguards, retainers, aligners and bleaching trays in just a quarter of the time."
Small-batch production of microfluidic chips in production-grade materials, without injection mold tooling.
Custom helmet air ducts for NASCAR and IndyCar drivers, formed on the Multiplier for paying customers.
Chocolate molds, pressure formed in food-safe 1.5 mm EVA, for showpieces sold at Harrods.
Kydex enclosures for small companies and start-ups, made in-house instead of injection molded.
Replacement lampshades for a building renovation, where the originals were no longer made.
A Mayku specialist will send pricing and a recommendation for your parts and volumes.
