- LinusEkenstam needed a discontinued toilet part for his mom, armed only with photos of the broken piece and measurements.
- Astra found an online manual with a small 2D drawing, combined it with his photos and measurements, and modeled the part in under 2 minutes, outputting a .stl file.
- The file went straight to his 3D printer in Sweden; 1.5 hours later the part was done. He sees 'vibe-manufacturing' spawning hundreds of new multi-million-dollar businesses.
