Day 2 of Shark's Den kicked off with a much hustle and bustle as the teams came in to collect their prints from the night before. After inspecting the first iteration of their product, teams quickly made changes and set the Makerbots to keep on printing further developments of their innovations. With the power of 3D printing, teams were able to rapidly prototype their product; look at how many design iterations one team were able to go through in just one day!
