DESCRIPTION

This was our pitch that we delivered at the Hardware Innovation Workshop and World Makerfaire 2013 in NYC. The Makeraser is a multitool for 3D Printers and with it you can easily remove prints, smooth prints, glue prints and stickify the print bed. Pretty useful, eh? Makelastic is a non-toxic chemistry that you can rubberize your 3D Print with. You can make it yourself using old PLA prints and our catalyst - cool eh?

3D Printers Have Problems

Stepping Prints don’t Stick

Or Prints stick too well

Brittleness (PLA)

Existing Solutions are not ideal

Immature

Inconsistent

Doesn’t Work

Expensive

Makelastic

Makelastic is a non-toxic chemical that plasticizes PLA, making it tougher yet more flexible. Most importantly, it’s made of recycled PLA – users can use theirLeftovers to create Makelastic themselves!

PLA (Rafts, failed prints, etc.)

The Big Vision

A Makeraser and a jug of Makelastic next to every 3D Printer.

- 20 different retail stores ready to buy our product- Made in Space is testing the Makeraser, could be sent

to ISS in 2014- Working with MIT to improve upon Makelastic
