The Universal Adapter Brick of the Free Universal Construction Kit

The F.A.T. Lab and Sy-Lab present the Free Universal Construction Kit, a collection of adapter bricks that enable complete interoperability between ten* popular childrens construction toys. By allowing any piece to join to any other, the Kit encourages new forms of interplay between otherwise closed systems enabling the creation of previously impossible designs, and more creative opportunities for kids. The Kit adapters can be downloaded from Thingiverse.com and other sharing sites as a set of 3D models in .STL format, suitable for reproduction by personal fabrication systems. >>> For more information, please see: http://fffff.at/free-universal-construction-kit.
