 8th Design Project Launches Modern Toy Car on Kickstarter: the Circle Car8th Design Project has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a a modern plywood toy car
The Circle Car began as a challenge to create something useful out of waste material being generated from other projects. A CNC machine was being used to cut out large parts – but there were some randomly shaped pieces that were ending up as scrap and ultimately discarded. Prior to beginning on the design itself, a set of goals emerged to describe what the product needed to be in order for them to move forward: simple, beautiful, functional. Through the design process, they arrived at a solution that felt unique both in terms of its ability to maximize the material usage and the functionality of the finished product. The circular main body of the car allows for one of the wheels to be cut from the center, while the other two-inch wheels can be cut from small pieces of scrap. In exchange for pledging to the project, supporters can purchase unfinished parts to assemble themselves for $12; or assembled and finished cards for $19.
