A dozen 3D printers and two days of time meant a team from Formlabs could create 500 3D prints of some wearable wristbands for a group of conference attendees. The team were approached by O’Reilly Media, the organizers of the Solid Conference, and presented with a challenge: Design and construct a “PopUp Factory” which could, within a matter of a few hours, print 500 parts for conference attendees. Outfitted with 12 Form 1+ 3D printers, the team of all-star designers and engineers made the customized, interactive wearable Alike wristbands on the conference site.
