Design for 3D Printing!
ModiBot was inspired by the possibilities of 3d design and desktop printing. Its becoming quite common to find a 3d printer available at the local school, library or online from print providers like Shapeways or Hubs.com. With simple 3D tools like Tinkercad you can learn about 3d modeling and export for 3d printing in a relatively short amount of time.
