Hi there,
Although I like using 3D-printing to make finished products, sometime I use it in a more traditional way: to make prototypes!
I wanted to let you know that for the 3rd time now, a Kickstarter campaign will allow dice that I designed to be mass-produced via injection molding.
These dice have been created for 3D-printing and have been for sale on Shapeways for quite a long time.
I modified slightly the design for injection molding (basically I tried to avoid as much as possible that a number is located across 2 faces, which never happens for regular dice, but is quite usual with my non-traditional dice). And then the dice have been 3D-printed (in Frosted Ultra Detailed) to make the prototypes for the molds.
Here are the two new re-designed dice that I also made available for 3D-printing in colored plastic:
-
D13
-
D15
If you want them in other materials just let me know.
And, of course, here is the Kickstarter to mass-produce them:
Your comments are welcome!
