FormBox appeals greatly to teachers for whom time is of the essence. According to multiple educational resellers, 3D printers are one of the most under-utilized purchases in schools due not only to complexity but to speed. Whereas even the fastest 3D printer can take hours if not days to print even a single object, the FormBox can make dozens of customized, reusable molds in minutes and at minimal cost (~$1.30/sheet)
Teachers are drawn to the FormBox because of its exceptional ability to foster and drive creativity through simple, tactile, hands-on learning and creating. Elementary school teachers, in particular, love that the FormBox enables them to help students truly express their creativity in ways that other STEM/STEAM-specific products simply cannot. As opposed to a building toy like LEGO Mindstorms, where you follow pre-set instructions in order to end up with something, the FormBox’s ability to use simple, found objects allows children to endlessly create, modify and fabricate projects.
FormBox’s ability to use practically anything as a template has made it a hit with teachers looking for a cost-effective, hands-on way to help teach a wide variety of subjects; from design for manufacturing, to maths and science, arts and crafts, and more. And since it can be used with a wide variety of easy-to-handle, inexpensive materials, the FormBox is one of the most flexible tools in the Edu Tech space today.
