Web and Mobile UX
I designed the Makerarm.io control software which ships free with the arm. It is browser-based and connects to Makerarm remotely via Wi-Fi through any device (smartphone, tablet or laptop/PC). The interface lets users:
View and control Makerarm in 3D.
Train Makerarm to perform specific functions.
Load designs and models for one-click 3D printing, milling, laser engraving, and more.
Connect third party apps or create custom scripts.
