Facebook Acquires Nascent Objects

Facebook’s latest acquisition is “modular electronics platform” creator Nascent Objects.

CEO Baback Elmieh announced the move on the company’s homepage:

Nascent Objects was founded on the principle that product development shouldn’t be so hard. That’s why we created the world’s first modular consumer electronics platform–to make product development fast, easy and accessible. By combining hardware design, circuitry, 3-D printing and modular electronics, our technology allows developers to go from concept to product in just weeks, much faster and less expensive than traditional methods.
