How Figma became my gateway to physical product design
summary
Software design files become product specs: a full keycap set is designed in Figma, exported as SVGs and shared as a brand guide, then previewed in 3D with a Keyboard Render Kit Blender plugin, iterated through many samples and a few factory changes, and finally manufactured and shipped as Gestal; a follow-up collection grows into five products (keyboard, cables, artisan caps, packaging) proving the pipeline works and teaching real CAD and manufacturing skills.
