Plastkit
Plastkit is a term used to describe modular plastic construction kits designed to enable rapid assembly of structures, devices, and prototypes. Kits typically include a range of interlocking components such as beams, plates, connectors, gears, wheels, and fasteners, often with standardized connector interfaces that allow parts from different kits to be combined. Materials are commonly thermoplastics such as ABS or PLA, though some kits emphasize recycled plastics or bioplastics. Manufacturing methods include injection molding for mass-produced parts and 3D printing for custom or limited-run components. Some Plastkit sets provide digital design resources, including parametric CAD files and build instructions.
Plastkit applications span education, hobbyist prototyping, and lightweight robotics. In classrooms they are used to teach
Variations exist among brands and open-source projects, emphasizing different connector standards, part scales, and compatibility with
