Show Notes

In this episode, we’re talking to Sebastian Friedrich, the CEO and Co-Founder of Tinkertoys. Tinkertoys allows kids to design their own toys online which will then be 3D printed and delivered to their homes. 

So what is Tinkertoys all about? In short, it’s all about showing kids what they are capable of constructing. Using Tinkertoys, kids can create their own toys via an easy to use web-based editor. Once a design is finished, you can choose to have it produced by Tinkertoys and delivered right to your home. 

If you own a 3D printer, you can also choose to download the 3D model files free of charge and print them at home. 

Besides offering these 3D construction and printing services for parents and their kids, Tinkertoys now also offers special licenses, webinars and management software for schools and teachers.
