WobbleWorks, the creator of the world's first and best-selling 3D printing pen, developed MindFrames as a wearable construction set designed to captivate both younger and older kids with pieces that can be endlessly connected and styled. This system includes pieces that have a ridge on the side, and connectors that attach to them anywhere to create structures as limitless as the imagination.
Although MindFrames started out as a construction toy, the team found themselves wearing helmets and glasses, and accessorizing with their MindFrames creations, and a category differentiator was born. “You don’t have to wear them,” notes WobbleWorks Communications Manager David Lozada. “You could use them to make figures, make domes, whatever you want.”
