Mattel has announced to bring a new 3D printer on the market that kids can make their own toys. The Thing Maker, like the Mattel 3D printer name costs $ 299.99 and kids can print their own toys in this way.
It is a modernized version of the Thing Maker Mattel 60s where kids liquid plastic into a mold cast in order to make their own toys . With a special app, which runs on both iOS and Android, can someone send his own design to the printer itself as 3D printing. On the app are several blueprints which you can then print out again to build toys.
This new concept for Mattel 3D printer is equipped with a safety feature so that children who print their toys do not hurt themselves with their newly printed toys. The device doors remain locked while the machine is in operation, so that the hot plastic can go out on the children come.
The printer is targeted at an audience aged 13 years and older , according to Mattel’s this age so responsible enough to deal with such a device
$ 300, -. for a 3D printer is not very expensive, that’s obvious. But the device is therefore not the functionality which does have a more expensive printer. The Thing Maker can as said only create basic designs so that children with these basic designs themselves can make all kinds of characters.
Or, if the device to our side of the ocean is not yet known. The Mattel 3D printer is currently only announced and the images show currently see really only basic functionality. But since Mattel has all kinds of different brands in their stable, as Hotweels and Barbie, they can well be a blast when they make printable these brands.
