Migo: A Portable Multifunctional 3D Printer

Revolutionizing 3D Creation with Convenience and Versatility

Migo, designed by Junshen Pan and Jie Shen, is a portable multifunctional 3D printer that aims to transform 3D creation into a seamless and accessible experience. With its compact size and innovative features, Migo brings 3D printing into our daily lives and education.

Migo is not just your ordinary 3D printer. It is a connection between 3D creation and our lifestyle. The inspiration behind Migo was to create a 3D printer that is not only a manufacturing tool but also a catalyst for creativity. The designers wanted to make 3D creation easy and smooth, introducing it as a new household product.

One of the unique properties of Migo is its portability. With its small dimensions of 155*195*275mm, Migo can be easily carried and used anywhere. This makes it perfect for educational or creative scenes where quick and accurate printing is required. Migo also features a laser engraving mode, further expanding its capabilities and versatility.

Migo is based on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology and uses PLA and ABS materials for printing. Its all-aluminum alloy uni-body design ensures durability and structural integrity. The designers have embedded all connections and structural components within the uni-body, resulting in a sleek and compact design.

Operating Migo is a breeze with its one-click operation and Wi-Fi connectivity. It can be used in standalone mode or connected to a mobile device for added convenience. The designers have put immense effort into creating a simple, beautiful, and powerful 3D printer that enhances the user experience.

The journey of creating Migo took three years and was based in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. Throughout the design process, the team faced various challenges, including finding creative manufacturing processes, designing an intuitive interface, developing user-friendly software, and creating functional accessories. However, their dedication and focus on simplicity, beauty, and power resulted in a truly innovative 3D printer.

Migo has received recognition for its outstanding design and functionality. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Product Engineering and Technical Design category in 2022. This prestigious award honors designs that demonstrate ingenuity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving the quality of life.

With Migo, Junshen Pan and Jie Shen have successfully brought 3D printing closer to our daily lives. Its portability, versatility, and user-friendly features make it a valuable tool for both professionals and enthusiasts. Migo is a testament to the power of innovation and its ability to transform the way we create and design.
