Revolutionizing Model Building: The Rampage System

Matthew Barker's Innovative Scale Model Building System Wins Silver A' Design Award

The Rampage System stands out for its unique 'OpenLOCK' clips, which join components together seamlessly. Each component is designed for perfect tessellation and compatibility, allowing users to build a variety of structures. The components are delivered as STL files, ready to be printed on a home 3D printer, making the product delivery both varied and economical.

The Rampage System was developed and launched via a successful crowdfunding campaign on IndieGOGO in October 2016. The design process involved extensive research and testing of various locking and tessellation ideas, including the tensile strength of printed PLA and ABS. The design styles of the components are concurrent with 'fantasy fiction pop-culture'.

One of the challenges faced during the design process was ensuring the designs were compatible with the lowest specification home 3D printer available. This was overcome by testing all designs on a range of home 3D printers, from the lowest to the highest specification.

The Rampage System is a result of the ongoing research at Printable Scenery. It capitalizes on the rise of home 3D printing by delivering the product digitally. While this requires the customer to invest in a 3D home printer, the cost is offset over time as the customer only needs to print the pieces they require.

Matthew Barker's Rampage System is a testament to the potential of home 3D printing technology. It has revolutionized the way model structures are built, offering a more flexible and economical solution.
