TOYS4HUMANITY’s plan for the future
1. 3D printing and TOYS4HUMANITY will both allow kids and adults to quickly explore and prototype toys to evaluate the related appreciation from people.
2. Use of AM in the Montessori Method in the field of early visual and tactile stimulation and in the modern reinterpretation of Bruno Munari’s “Tactile Books”, including the start to 3D design and the proactive digital transition of new generations in school age, being the design of “one’s” toy a fundamental mean of stimulating and encouraging the child and a mean of learning mathematical geometry and developing creativity in an attractive way compared to traditional methods.
3. Clinical trials in collaboration with institutes and universities for the evaluation of early visual, spatial and tactile stimulation for the development of prehensility, spatial coordination and predisposition to recognize harmonic and mathematical patterns in the environment.
TOYS4HUMANITY’s ambition
4. Exploring and using potential for customization during printing and/or postprocessing with manual decoration of the 3dprinted bases for the production of certified “designer toys” (stamped alphanumeric unique codes, blockchains, QR codes, RFID labels with link to online site with the related certificate of possession).
TOYS4HUMANITY’s roadmap on AM and on overall business objectives.
5. Analysis of economic sustainability both “downwards” towards the mass market (creation of molds based on the forms tested in AM) and “upwards” towards the market of personalized and hand-finished designer toys: this market flourished in many past eras, but it is currently an almost disappeared niche. To evaluate this area, we would like to use AMable ID 305 service.
6. Analysis of the possibilities of intellectual protection of images, 3d files and tutorials for their possible use in the educational non-profit sector.
7. Use of wireless recharging to reduce the use of connections (cleanability) as to create toys with LED & rechargeable batteries (to reduce environmental impact) as to attain better visual and sound stimulations.
