Kyttanen on the inspiration behind the project:

“My inspiration began in my sculptures at MOMA and thinking I’d like to empower everyone to be able to be a designer in mediums beyond creating museum pieces. I realized the solution was not in bringing 3D printers into their homes but to deliver a platform that makes it extremely fast and simple to be creative with inexpensive materials such as natural sugar syrups, fruit, and water vs. expensive metals and plastics.”
