Why spend all your time drawing, sketching, and painstakingly extrapolating it into a communication set of blueprints, extracted 2D representations, written specifications and endless unco-ordinated instructions only for some builder to guess about what you meant… and justify why it cannot be done as you imagined!

Imagine drawing in 3D in realspace, not inside the workstation….

Imagine combining this steel design, with the ‘minibuilder’ bot to flesh over a larger integral structure to create a scale and form that is a unique customisation.
