Following a phase of technical refinement and detail optimization, the LEGO® Maflex Unwinder project has officially returned to the LEGO® Ideas platform. This relaunch marks a significant moment for both the AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) community and the industrial sector, offering a sophisticated, modular representation of large-scale engineering.
The project distinguishes itself by introducing a tissue converting machine to the LEGO® Ideas ecosystem—a first for the platform. By translating complex industrial machinery into a modular format, the Maflex Unwinder highlights the mechanical ingenuity of the tissue sector, providing an educational look into a vital global industry that is seldom represented in mainstream creative media.
The model serves as a tribute to the precision of the tissue and converting industry, aiming to spark interest in STEM and industrial design through the medium of the world’s most iconic building system.
To move from a concept to a potential commercial LEGO® set, the project must navigate a series of community-backed milestones. The roadmap is designed to demonstrate sustained public interest:
-
Initial Milestone: Securing the first 100 supporters to establish momentum.
-
The Growth Phase: Reaching 1,000 supporters within a 365-day window to extend the project's lifespan on the platform.
-
The Ultimate Goal: Achieving 10,000 votes to enter the official LEGO® Review phase, where LEGO designers and marketing experts evaluate the model for production.
