Revolutionizing DIY: Plott's Cubit

Transforming Home Improvement with a Blend of Design and Technology

Plott's Cubit is a groundbreaking measuring tool that is set to revolutionize the world of DIY and home improvement. This innovative tool simplifies the process of measuring, designing, and building, making DIY projects more accessible and enjoyable.

Many DIY enthusiasts often abandon their home improvement projects due to the complexity of measurements and the discrepancy between their envisioned design and the actual outcome. Cubit, designed by Plott, addresses these issues by integrating real-world dimensions into a virtual design platform. This integration allows users to visualize their designs accurately before bringing them to life, eliminating the need for complex calculations.

What sets Cubit apart from other tools is its ability to act as a GPS for DIY projects. Users can design with scale and context in an easy-to-use app, and then Cubit provides turn-by-turn directions to where changes need to be made. This innovative feature brings designs to life in the real world with zero calculations, making it a unique addition to the DIY toolkit.

The design of Cubit is a testament to Plott's commitment to innovation and user experience. The team wanted to create a clean, sleek, and familiar design to contrast with the innovative technology. The user experience is modeled after GPS technology, using Cubit's dual lasers for positioning and a system of arrows and bullseyes to guide users to specific real-world points from a design.

Cubit's technical specifications include two laser distance measures with an accuracy of ±3mm, a measurement wheel, an LCD display, and a weight of 181g. Its compact size (Height 100mm, Width 91mm, Depth 36mm) makes it a handy tool for any DIY enthusiast.

The Cubit project began in Spring of 2016 and has since won numerous awards, including the Silver A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2019, the Best of Innovation for Smart Home at CES, and the Global Innovation Awards' Best in Smart Home. These accolades reflect Cubit's innovative approach to solving common DIY challenges and its commitment to enhancing the home improvement experience.

In conclusion, Plott's Cubit is a revolutionary tool that is set to change the landscape of DIY and home improvement. By integrating real-world dimensions into a virtual design platform, Cubit simplifies the process of measuring, designing, and building, making DIY projects more accessible and enjoyable. With its innovative features and award-winning design, Cubit is a testament to Plott's commitment to innovation and user experience.
