Design. Print. Drive.

The first UGC SaaS platform
for modular 3D printable RC vehicles.

1. WHAT WE BUILT?

THE EXPEDITION PROTOTYPE

Fully functional,  

3D-printable 1:16 RC car built for real driving. 70h print time, 213 printed parts, basic RC electronics, with no soldering required.

More than a single product, it proves the modular system behind the future Makeracer UGC platform.

2. WHAT ARE WE BUILDING?

THE PLATFORM

A browser-based 3D configurator for modular,  3D-printable RC vehicles.

Built on three.js, the platform enables real-time 3D rendering and instant part swapping & painting directly in the browser. Unlike most, uninspired e-commerce configurators, it delivers a game-like vehicle customization using  pre-tested modular parts.

Every possible configuration is mechanically compatible and drive-ready.
