When Primo came to Materialise they had already identified 3D Printing as the ideal manufacturing method for the first 650 runs of the Cubetto Playset. What they went on to discover was the value you can realise when a product is designed specifically for 3D Printing. A tangible programming interface that teaches children programming logic without the need for literacy, the Cubetto Playset consists of a programming interface, a set of instruction blocks and board, and the star of the show, a robot called ‘Cubetto’. Comprised of natural materials and electronics, Primo had selected Additive Manufacturing to produce eleven parts including the programming blocks and components that would be used to construct the Cubetto robot.

Materialise has 3D printed a cat that is not afraid of water. Recently, a grand model of a jaguar went from Materialise’s Factory for 3D Printing straight to the bow of KISMET, one of the few truly bespoke luxury yachts to hit the water in 2014. Standing at a massive 4 meters long and 2 meters tall, this elegant feline was printed on none other than Materialise’s Mammoth stereolithography machine. It was then given a beautiful coat to give it a graceful aesthetic and protect it from all the natural elements it may encounter on its journeys around the world.

The name of the competition says it all: its goal is for high school students to build a satellite the size of a standard beverage can.
