Xbox One design team used hundreds of 3D-printed prototypes to fine-tune the console

The Xbox One is an impressive piece of hardware. Sure, the games look sharp, but the console is pleasing in and of itself. Once a product hits shelves, it’s easy to forget that people had to design it from scratch. From toasters to game consoles, the devices we use every day have gone through countless iterations, and an absurd number of man-hours are spent perfecting these technological masterpieces. It’s worth taking note of just how many revisions products go through before they see the light of day, and Microsoft’s Carl Led better wants you to know just how much work was put into the Xbox One.
