Maybe you’ve ever wondered why is Xiaomi selling so many curious products that have nothing to do with mobile phones. It’s time to find out.
The last one is called Xiaomi UBOT Aichuan forks electric saw / drill / grinderwhich can be used by both children (with appropriate protection included) and adults.
this is saw designed to create STEM projects in science, computer science, DIY, etc. You can see how it works in this video:
The device consists of three independent machines. On the one hand, we have an electric saw that looks like an old sewing machine…or a 3D printer, but instead of printing, it cuts.
Then we have a puncher and a grinder. These are independent devices that are used separately.
As we see in the video, Xiaomi UBOT Aichuan Children can use them (with the help of an adult to operate the saw) to create wooden toys. Although it also cuts many other materials: cardboard, plasticetc.
But this is also product for adultsif we link it with platforms like Raspberry Pi or Arduino. It allows us to create wooden or plastic cases for machines, wearable devices, robotsand other creations without resorting to a 3D printer, whose plastic filaments are more expensive than wood and, above all, take much longer to print.
Xiaomi UBOT Aichuang Power Saw It is sold on Xiaomi Youpin at a price of 1600 yuan, which is about 250 euros in exchange.
Youpin is the key to having so many curious products in the Xiaomi catalog. This is a kind of KickStarter in which Xiaomi is just one of the many companies that participate. Xiaomi Youpin is your personal store, but other companies have their own stores.
The essence of Youpin is that it is not only crowdfunding for users, but also companies can invest and even buy successful products for their brand..
And this is what Xiaomi basically does: partner with other companies that have been successful on Youpin to produce their activity bracelets, fans or pet feeders, or directly buy a company or product to sell under your own brand name.
