Mecaduino

Last weekend we attended the Madrid Maker Faire as we told you.

It was amazing and we had so much fun. Many people attendeded the event and we did not stop a second showing TwinTeeth to the people. It had an excellent acceptance, mainly among electronic amateurs but also among children, families and students. We also had the chance to chat with some customers and friends, and even meet other makers and expositors. That is basically what these kind of events are: a socialization point in the isolated but interconnected world of internet :-) We would like to thanks Make magazine and specially to Cesar and Sara, the organizers.

We also collected there a lot of ideas and suggestions. We liked very much Mecaduino: a quickly building system which allows us to develop any kind of project at a very affordable price. It is a construction system based on 15x15mm aluminium profiles with a sophisticated shaping which allows interconnecting multitude of accessories. The versatility of the system is incredible and also how it solves linear axes of any kind, using belts or acme screws.

It is even elegant and beautiful! Here are some pictures:

I personally liked very much that the system is based on multiples of 15mm. The profiles are cut and milled always in that measure and all the parts and accessories meet that requirement. In this way it is very easy to create new things but also to assemble the pieces and reuse the parts in other projects.

We will try to use it in future projects because it solves a lot of our designing criteria and it let us time to focus on more important areas.

With Mecaduino and a 3D printer we can practically do anything we can imagine and easily integrate profiles and accessories with custom printed plastic parts.

So, well done Mecaduino!
