Athens, Georgia Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Slab Dream Lab LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovative baseplate technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11980828, titled ‘Custom multi-colored images applied to three dimensional products, such as polystyrene post production on an individual basis’, utilizes a planar sheet with a top surface featuring a plurality of nodes designed to support interlocking building bricks.

This patent introduces a baseplate system where each node includes a vertical cylindrical wall that tapers along its height and a horizontal top wall, with a bevel around the circumference where the two walls meet. This design enhances the stability and grip of the building bricks placed on the baseplate. Additionally, the invention describes methods for assembling composite baseplates by securing two components via a common backing material, and for applying custom multi-colored images using ultraviolet ink printing.

The real-world impact of this technology is significant for educators, hobbyists, and professionals who use interlocking brick systems. The enhanced node design ensures a more secure fit for bricks, reducing the likelihood of accidental disassembly. The ability to apply custom graphics expands the creative possibilities for users, allowing for personalized designs and educational applications.

Slab Dream Lab’s commitment to innovation in the realm of building brick accessories is evident in this patent. By focusing on both functional improvements and aesthetic customization, they are setting new standards in the industry.
