Inspiration

The need to improve tools for steam education and teach the life lesson of responsible production and consumption to school going students.

What it does

Recycled plastic pellets are fed into a custom made 3D printer that can be controlled from a verified mobile device by users of different levels of expertise as it will house a virtual digital artist to assist in design. The 3D printer is recommended for use at schools to promote STEAM education by facilitating the design and development of prototypes and artworks. These items can then be sold on the marketplace on the app.
