The Protopiper: The Gun for Designers

To all designers out there, this gun’s for you. Check out the Protopiper, a handheld device that uses packing tape as “bullets” and shoot these out into rigid tubes that can used as 3D wireframes for scale models and whatnot. Invented by Germany’s Hasso-Plattner Institute, it promotes efficiency and negates the need to bring many different materials when setting up exhibits. It’s a very handy tool. This is one gun that furniture exhibitors would always want holstered around their waist.
