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.
