Get Inspired
Featured
Categories
ThinAirPress.com is the blog and tutorials section of Roarockit, where we highlight the amazing projects and contributions that come from our extended (and very talented) Roarockit family. Every day we are lucky enough to see work created by people using our Thin Air Press technology, and everyday we are amazed by what people have come up with. These projects range from designing skateboards to building boats, and are only limited by the imagination of the builders themselves.
If you would like to be featured on the "Get Inspired" blog, feel free to send any photos, videos, stories and/or links to taryn@roarockit.com.
We have an active and vibrant community of all kinds of people who build things with Roarockit products.
We love (LOVE) seeing what you do, so please stay in touch!
