'Toybox' was recently launched on Indiegogo as the "first easy-to-use, one-touch 3D printer for kids to design and print their own toys" at an affordable price.
The 3D printer itself boasts a cube-like form and requires no knowledge of additive manufacturing to create everything from small toy blocks and figurines to instruments with Toybox's ever-growing catalog of designs. For those who want to want to challenge themselves and push the limits of their own creativity, the Toybox platform also includes apps that make it possible for kids to design their own toys rather than sourcing any of the pre-made designs from the catalog.
As part of its crowdfunding campaign, the team of designers and engineers behind the innovative kid-friendly 3D printer are offering Toybox for a super early bird price of $199.
