The end of Kickstarter is only the beginning of the Form 1. Soon, literally 1,000 of you will have this amazing printer on your desk. In the meantime, we’ll be telling one or two stories each month of what our early test users are doing.
Our good friend Pip, for example, describes herself as “a product designer with a technical background” who is “constantly considering the instinctive responses of people to everything in the world around them...and then developing these insights into naturally intuitive and responsive products for us to interact with daily.”
Given this mindset, Pip recently decided to experiment with 3D scanners to scan real world objects rather than designing them from scratch in a CAD platform. She started with more complex shapes, but realized that 3D scanning isn’t as simple as you might think. There’s still some CAD work to be done after the scan. So she shifted to simpler shapes, like a donut to create rings on a keychain.
Once rendered virtually, Pip had a big question: where to print in 3D? The Form 1, of course. Check out the whole process on Pip’s blog.
This real life to computer to real life example of 3D printing is just one example of millions of ways to put the Form 1 to work.
What will you create with your Form 1?

I would like to show my appreciation to this wetirr just for bailing me out of this particular predicament. Right after searching through the world wide web and seeing suggestions that were not pleasant, I thought my life was gone. Being alive without the solutions to the problems you’ve solved through this report is a crucial case, as well as the kind which could have in a wrong way affected my career if I had not noticed your site. Your own personal knowledge and kindness in playing with all things was precious. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I’m able to at this moment relish my future. Thanks a lot very much for your skilled and result oriented guide. I won’t be reluctant to suggest the website to any individual who should get recommendations about this situation.
