The Incredible Dishmaker

Posted February 12, 2007 7:36 AM

From TechEBlog:

Created by MIT student Leonardo Bonanni, this incredible device "can actually replace cabinets worth of dishes by storing them as flat disks." If the Dishmaker ever becomes a reality, you will never have to worry about dishes again. You just make dishes on demand and try to put all the extra free cabinet space to good use

Incredible all right, he only shows one type of bowl being made, imagine changing the tooling to produce the other shapes, as toolmaker who worked on plastic injection moulds these tooling forms would cost a bomb! So you make a bowl as shown then you want to make a dinner plate do you put on a pair of asbestos gloves to change all the hot tooling sections over ??

If I need more space I'll just buy a $80.00 cabinet & screw it to the wall !!

The bowl should be made of candy. This would force the children to first eat their 'healthy' food before they can have a go at the sweets.

The contraption can be adapted to re-shape the overweight users.

The machine could be a winner in Greece. "You make it you break it"
