Who, Where, What is Curioo?

Good things come in small packages, so don't be fooled by our size. Curioo (cu·ri·oo : A rare, unusual, or intriguing object) is a wooden toy company based in the heart of Coventry. Toys are a vital element of any childhood, therefore Curioo designs and builds heirloom-quality wooden toys. We invoke curiosity through educational and entertaining toys and games which are beautifully simple and timeless that will get better with generations of imaginative play and enjoyment. We are in the business of handing down childhood memories. When you give a child a toy, you give them a tool to help them make sense of their world. Some of a child’s earliest memories will be about the toys they played with. That’s why we build toys that can last generations to teach, inspire and stimulate both physical skills and help develop creative imaginations.

3D printed structures on the moon

c
February 1st, 2013

Foster + partners have teamed up with the european space agency to 3D print structures on the moon using local materials. With current technologies allowing for entire buildings to be constructed using three-dimensional printing methods, the idea of expanding to build lunar habits could be seen as realistic in the coming years.

By devising a weight-bearing ‘catenary’ dome design with a cellular structured wall to shield against micro-meteoroids and space radiation, foster + partners incorporate a pressurised inflatable to shelter astronauts. the hollow closed-cell structure – reminiscent of bird bones – provides a good combination of strength and weight. as a demonstration, 1.5 tonne building block was produced with a D-shape printer which draws material reference from 3D-printed lunar soil.
