Open source plastic molding technology

Hello there,

I went to the Kickstarter website. It is an ideal avenue for many designers. It will help that, if there is general recognition of the merits of your idea you will see the result in direct backing in real cash purchasing.

One particularly awesome design for a I-Pad or Kindle type tablet device can be seen under 'design'. Go to the site and at the bottom left of the page click on design and view the video etc for this product.

The inventor needed $10,000 in pledge money to get funding in one month to produce the part. He had $54,450 in pledges when I viewed it. There is acceptance for some ideas immediately and this seems to be one. The industrial design is beautiful and the function and of course slick advertising makes it a winner and thus the level of funding outstrips the initial goal.

I think it is worth a look.

Good topic OP.
