Hey Everyone,
I wanted to share a mapping company that I’ve been working on for the
last couple months, and just give an overall thank you to the community
as whole for supporting my endeavour. I recently launched Krate Labs, a
company that fabricates personalized illuminated maps and displays and
thought I would share the project turned business with the community
that contributes so much. It’s also where I was able to meet so many
great individuals, that have so much knowledge and expertise, who
continue to give back, just for the cause. So overall I am thankful for
this community and everyone involved.
I met John Marshall here who introduced me to Denis Carriere a
contributor in this community and expert developer. We were able to
build a Web-App that allows a user to select any location in the world
from a live view map and create a custom map that gets sent directly to
their home or business. The magic is in the backend where the web-app
coverts a static image into a SVG (scalable vector file) that I am able
to laser directly onto acrylic plastic.
This lasering allows only light to pass through the etched artwork which
frosts, creating a unique, contemporary and detailed design of any
location in the world with just the click of a button.
Feel free to take a look and offer some feedback or insight on the site,
process or anything else you come across.
