What is Plamo 2.0 ?

While the popularity of digital creative hobbies such as making videos, games, and applications is on the rise, the number of young people interested in the analog hobby of plastic modeling is on the decline.

This is thought to be because "sharing output" has become part of the motivation for creation for today's creative youth.

Conventional plastic models (Plamo 1.0) is one of the hobbies in which sharing output is very difficult. The completed plastic model is a one-of-a-kind item, so it cannot be shared in and of itself. On the other hand, if you take a photo and share it, you will lose the greatest appeal of plastic models, which is that they are three-dimensional objects.

Plamo 2.0 is a key concept to change this situation. By utilizing digital technology, we can make it possible to deliver plastic models created by creators to a wider audience and help revitalize the entire modeling industry.
