CyberBrick™ Announces its Pre-Launch on Kickstarter to Unlock the Full Potential of 3D Printing

March 6, 2025 - CyberBrick™, an innovative spinoff project from the MakerWorld team at Bambu Lab, today announces its pre-launch on Kickstarter.

This groundbreaking ecosystem combines the power of modular design, community-driven innovation, and 3D printing, to offer a new way for makers and families to learn, play, and create together. CyberBrick™ turns to Kickstarter to test a pioneering idea in modular, 3D-printed toys and gadgets, harnessing the power of the platform to connect with a community of forward-thinking backers and bring the project to life.

At the core of CyberBrick™ are smart modules that enable anyone to build and enjoy a wide range of 3D-printed projects, from remote-controlled vehicles to interactive robots. These modules are designed with both beginners and experts in mind, featuring:

• Ultra-compact size, thanks to SMD patch technology, micro interfaces, and a solderless design for easy integration
• Hassle-free setup with Bluetooth connectivity and ready-to-use configurations
• Intuitive parameter tuning with multi-platform apps and MicroPython programming for advanced customization

Simply put, these are magical little bricks that bring your 3D printed creations to life – just print, snap them in, and watch your creation move, light up, or interact with the world around you.

Expanding the Possibilities of 3D Printing

CyberBrick™ is a catalyst that expands the possibilities of 3D printing by making content creation easier and more accessible than ever before. With its ecosystem of hardware modules, software tools, and a community platform, anyone can easily create the toys and gadgets they imagine.

Moreover, CyberBrick™ empowers creators to bring their ideas to life quickly and efficiently, while also monetizing their work. The MakerWorld community offers a thriving digital space where makers can share their designs, collaborate on projects, and earn money from their creations, fostering a new era of creative entrepreneurship.

Turning Playtime into Learning Time

CyberBrick™ transforms playtime into an opportunity for hands-on STEM learning and family bonding. Each project invites parents and children to explore coding, electronics, and mechanical engineering through engaging, creative play.

As families progress through the CyberBrick™ ecosystem, they'll encounter a wide range of challenges that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and skill development:

• Print, assemble, and play
• Change the channel binding settings
• Explore event-based programming using the GUI
• Modify and create MicroPython code at different levels
• Design custom components (CAD) for existing projects
• Create and share new CyberBrick™-compatible projects (CAD)

With new challenges and designs constantly added to the MakerWorld platform, there's always a new skill to master and a new project to tackle, ensuring that the learning and fun never stop.

A Greener Way to Create

By leveraging the power of modular design and 3D printing, CyberBrick™ significantly reduces e-waste. Electronic components can be easily reused across multiple projects, and when it's time for a new challenge, you can simply download a new design and print it at home. 

"With CyberBrick™, we're not just changing the way toys and other gadgets are made - we're revolutionizing the entire supply chain, from creator to consumer," says Dr. Tao, CEO at Bambu Lab. "We're cutting out the need for manufacturing plants, transportation, and retail, significantly reducing waste and carbon footprint. This distributed manufacturing approach turns 3D printers into personal manufacturing hubs, providing endless possibilities, while minimizing environmental impact."

Accessible to All

To make the joys of CyberBrick™ accessible to everyone, the Kickstarter campaign offers both DIY kits for those with 3D printers and complete sets with printed parts included. 

The Kickstarter campaign launches on March 15th, with shipping set to begin on April 15th. To learn more about CyberBrick™ and support the project, click here.
