Build products powered by AI + XSPIN Modules

Tell XSPIN AI what you want to make. It suggests the electronic modules you'll need, then helps you design the 3D-printed parts around them, like an engineer friend at your side. You print the parts, order your module kit, and put it together.

Module kit

Motors, batteries and switches, developed and verified by XSPIN. They plug together, no soldering.

Printed parts

Designed with the help of XSPIN AI, your friendly engineer. You print them at home.

Your project

Put it together, switch it on, and watch it work.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to make something work

Whether it's your first project or your fiftieth, XSPIN AI meets you where you are: it explains more when you're learning and gets out of the way when you know what you want.

Kids and parents

Build your first moving toy together. Describe it, print it, and plug it in. No soldering iron near little hands.

Students

See how gears, cams and circuits really work by building one. XSPIN AI explains why each part is shaped the way it is.

Teachers and clubs

A hands-on lesson that runs on the desk. Kits that repeat across a class, no soldering, and projects that work.

Makers and engineers

Get your next print to move without the CAD and wiring grind. Exact module models and parts you can keep tweaking.

What it solves for you

Everything that usually stops you, solved

You don't have to be a designer.

Never opened a CAD program? You don't need to.

Tell XSPIN AI what you want. It sketches, measures and refines the printed parts with you.

You don't have to hunt for parts.

No soldering, no guessing wires, no searching five shops for the right motor.

Your module kit has everything your project needs in one order: affordable, plug-together modules made to work with each other and fit first time.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

No more getting stuck halfway.

XSPIN AI brings engineering know-how from many builds and helps at every step, from "I have an idea" to the moment you switch it on.

How it works

From idea to working project in three steps

You say "I want a bridge that lifts for boats." XSPIN asks how fast, how high, and whether the road gates should drop first. Then it sketches the mechanism, shows you how it moves, and works through each change with you until it's ready to print.

Step 1

Tell XSPIN AI what you want to make

Describe your idea in your own words, or start from a starter project like the LatticeRunner. XSPIN AI asks what it should do, how big it should be, and what should move or switch on.

Step 2

Pick the modules, design the parts

XSPIN AI suggests the electronic modules your project needs and explains why, or tells you if something isn't possible yet. Then it helps you design the printed parts around them: the body, the mounts, and any gears or cams. It checks every fit and shows you the result, and you change it together until it's right.

Step 3

Print, order, put it together

Print the parts on your 3D printer and order the module kit made for your design. Plug the modules together, screw on the body, and switch it on.

Try it

Customize a starter project

Pick a suggestion or type your own idea. XSPIN redraws the body around the same motor and batteries, and checks it as it goes. Answers in this preview are scripted.

What you can make today

Every project here uses modules in the library today. Open the starter project in the studio, or use the example designs as ideas for your own.

Yellow LatticeRunner dump truck in CAD
SimpleStarter project

LatticeRunner

Drives itself around the lattice track.

Printed mechanismThe motor's shaft is the front axle, so there are no gears to print.

Ferris wheel with gear drive in CAD
ModerateExample design

Ferris wheel

The wheel turns slowly and the cabins stay level.

Printed mechanismA worm and a big gear slow the motor right down. Gravity keeps each cabin upright.

Fox riding a penny-farthing, legs pedalling
ModerateExample design

Penny-farthing rider

The rider's legs pedal as the big wheel spins.

Printed mechanismA crank on the wheel drives both legs through a four-bar linkage.

ModulesNo electronics: hand crankor add a gear motor
Marble roller coaster with paddle-wheel lift
AdvancedExample design

Marble coaster

Marbles ride up a paddle wheel, roll the track, and go again.

Printed mechanismThe motor turns the paddle wheel. Gravity does the rest, forever.

ModulesNo electronics: hand crankor add a gear motor
Train circling a tiny planet, stopping at the station
AdvancedExample design

Station Clock

A train circles a tiny planet, stops at the station, and the signal drops.

Printed mechanismA Geneva drive turns smooth spinning into stop-and-go, and a cam lowers the signal.

ModulesNo electronics: hand crankor add a gear motor
Cars circling a tiny planet past a traffic light
AdvancedExample design

Traffic Planet

Cars loop a small world and the traffic light changes as they pass.

Printed mechanismThe same Geneva drive moves the cars. A pin in a slot switches the light.

ModulesNo electronics: hand crankor add a gear motor
Tower bascule bridge with gear trains, leaves open
ExpertExample design

Bascule Bridge

The road gates drop, then both bridge leaves lift, then everything reverses.

Printed mechanismA two-stage planetary gearbox drives a camshaft that times the gates and leaves.

Coming next

These need modules that aren't in the library yet. Tap "Notify me" on a module below to hear when they arrive.

Projects that light up

Coming soon

No moving parts: XSPIN designs the enclosure around the lights, battery and switch, with room for the wires and a diffuser that spreads the glow evenly.

Moon lamp

A crescent moon that glows on your desk.

Light-up name sign

Your name in letters lit from behind.

Night light

Turns on by itself when the room goes dark.

Robots you can drive

Coming soon

Add a controller and a remote, and your project becomes a robot you steer, start and stop yourself. XSPIN redesigns the printed body around it.

Remote-control rover

Steer it round the room with a two-stick remote.

Walking robot

Linkage legs walk forward, and you choose when it turns.

Grabber arm

Servos lift and grip small blocks on command.

Module library

The electronics you build with

Every module comes with its exact 3D model: size, shafts, contacts and mounting holes. XSPIN AI suggests the right ones for your idea and helps you design printed parts that fit them. Then you order the modules your design needs as one kit.

Gear motors

In the library

Small geared DC motors, single or dual shaft. XSPIN mounts them and connects them to your mechanism.

Battery holders and contacts

In the library

AA and AAA holders and spring contacts, placed in a printed battery bay.

Switches

In the library

Slide and push switches, or a printed slide switch that needs no soldering.

Power boards and wiring

In the library

Small distribution boards and plug-in leads. XSPIN routes the wires through your body.

Servo motors

Coming soon

Positionable motors for arms, grippers and steering.

Controller and remote

Coming soon

A small controller board and handheld remote, so you can steer it yourself.

Sensors

Coming soon

Distance, light and touch sensors for projects that react.

Lights and sound

Coming soon

LEDs, light strips and buzzers for lamps, signs and anything that should glow or beep.

Why order your module kit from XSPIN

  • It fits. These are the exact modules your printed parts were designed around.
  • It's complete. One order with every module, cable and screw your project needs.
  • It plugs together. Every module uses matching connectors, so you plug it in instead of soldering. Your design leaves room for every cable.
  • It's reusable. Take it apart and build something new with the same modules.
  • It's affordable. Modules priced so a hobbyist, a student or a whole class can build.

Why it works

It doesn't start from zero

When you ask for a lifting bridge or a train that stops at every station, XSPIN isn't inventing everything. It combines modules it knows with skills that have worked, then checks the printed parts before you print. If your idea needs a module the library doesn't have yet, it tells you straight away and lets you know the day it arrives.

What you need

  • A 3D printer, or see below
  • Your XSPIN module kit
  • A small screwdriver

No 3D printer? We're lining up partner print studios to print your parts and deliver them to you.
