Thanks for your interest!

Igloo hasn't moved much since our work in 2011 at the Product Architecture Lab. We are certainly still interested in the idea, just haven't found a chance to progress the work.

By the way, an interesting couple (1 2) of articles just came out about US Patent # 8,515,826. Here's the abstract from the patent from the fabbaloo article:

"Methods and systems for designing and producing a three-dimensional object selection of a base three-dimensional object from a customer device. A base three-dimensional model corresponding to the object is displayed on the customer device, and one or more custom modifications are received. A modified three-dimensional model corresponding to the modified object is prepared and displayed. Once confirmation to produce the modified object is received, data corresponding to the modified three-dimensional model is transmitted to a manufacturing device for production of the object, using the data to do so, such that the object corresponds directly to the modified three-dimensional model."
