Reshaping aerospace innovation with the Mayku Multiplier at Bristol University
At Bristol University’s aerospace department, students combine analytical methods with hands-on experimentation to design and build innovative aerospace applications. Previously, the team relied on fabrication methods like 3D printing and traditional molding, which required the creation of intricate mold tools. These processes were often cumbersome and time-intensive, with a single iteration taking days or even weeks to complete. Introducing the Mayku Multiplier and its pressure forming technology has transformed their workflow, making mold creation faster, more efficient, and highly accessible. What once took days can now be achieved in seconds, allowing several iterations in a single day. This opens doors for advanced research and exploration, empowering Dr. Ian Farrow and his students to bring their prototypes to life with unprecedented speed and precision.

Proforming LLC: Faster, cooler results with the Mayku Multiplier
In the fast-paced world of NASCAR, drivers spend hours behind the wheel, battling not just their competitors but also extreme heat. Inside the car, temperatures climb fast, with engine heat, track reflection, and limited airflow making conditions even tougher. Staying cool isn’t just about comfort – it’s key to performance and safety. One of the most effective ways drivers combat the heat is with a helmet air system, which delivers a steady stream of air directly into the helmet. This helps regulate body temperature, prevent overheating, and fight fatigue, keeping drivers sharp and focused through the grueling hours on track.
