DIY Hologram Kit: 200 Laser-Cut MDF Kits Sold Out in One Week
DIY Hologram Kit: From Crowdfunding to Sold Out in a Week
After the hologram prototypes were validated, our client launched a crowdfunding campaign and received orders for more than 200 kits. Now the kit had to be produced, and it had to be easy for students to build.
CADLETE Designs developed the kit using laser-cut MDF with an interlocking assembly mechanism, so users, including students, could put it together themselves without complex tools or processes. The modular design keeps assembly simple while holding the optical parts in exactly the right position for the holographic effect.
Each complete kit included the MDF structure along with a tripod, lighting, teleprompter glass and other accessories.
The initial batch of around 200 kits sold out within one week. Following this strong market response, the product is progressing toward an injection-molding-ready design for future production at scale.

DIY hologram kit questions
What is a DIY hologram kit?
A DIY hologram kit is a build-it-yourself STEM product that projects floating 3D images from a smartphone or tablet. Ours is assembled from laser-cut, textured MDF parts and commercial-grade optical materials.
Who is a hologram development kit for?
Students, hobbyists and classrooms who want a hands-on way to explore 3D digital content, and retailers or brands looking for a gift-ready STEM product with a good unboxing experience.
Why was the kit made from laser-cut MDF?
Laser cutting gives high precision and easy assembly, and textured MDF gives the kit a premium, tactile finish at a price that suits batch production.
Can CADLETE design and manufacture a STEM kit for my brand?
Yes. We handle product design, laser-cut part production, custom packaging and batch manufacturing in one team, so there is no handoff between vendors.
Have an educational product to build?
Free 30-minute consultation. A real engineer reads your brief, not a bot.
