3D Printed Magnetic Blocks Connect Like Magic https://ift.tt/32c3h3Y Whether you have kids or enjoy building sets with a variety of different intricate block selections, chances are you have not yet experienced 3D printed magnetic blocks. Created by the team at Tuvlaki, headquartered in Greece, these innovative construction sets are made up of powerful magnetic systems. Available to users in a variety of colors and a wide range of shapes, the 3D printed Tuvlaki™ bricks can be used to create complete ‘well-thought-out’ environments bonded by smart connections. Manufactured at the Tuvlaki facilities in Greece, the building blocks are made from Colorfabb’s PLA/PHA, materials chosen for ‘natural color depiction’ and hands-on texture. The Tuvlaki team sees these sets as ‘the future of hobby construction sets,’ as users just put the bricks in proximity to each other and the magnets click together.

The blocks are printed on both Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 3 3D printers, allowing them to reap all the rewards of 3D printing from quality in design to speed in turnaround—to affordability. The Greek manufacturers are all too aware of the competition they are dealing with from other quite legendary companies like LEGO Group and Hasbro. Because of that, their priority is in offering high-quality products that are both affordable and innovative too—as well as made in Greece rather than outsourced to China. The company also plans to offer a ‘DIY service’ for printing magnetic blocks at home:
There are many different spins on toys and building blocks, from recycling CD’s into blocks to other innovative block toys and a multitude of 3D printing projects that actually employ LEGOs also.
