Opal: The Ice Making Machine

For lovers of ice in their drinks called Nugget; Nugget is a compressed ice, it is a special form of frozen water, it is soft, light, and particularly easy to chew. Opal nugget ice is a machine which produces about 3pounds of ice from a 6-cups reservoir; it possesses a high-tech sensor that makes it known when to start and stop making ice. This sensor will identify the level of water in the bucket, in order to turn the ice maker on or off. Just like a cooler, ice will slowly melt within the air-insulated bucket. Opal will automatically be turned on to make sure that the bucket is refilled with ice.
Opal development started with the idea of Alan Mitchell, Ismael Ramos at FirstBuild, which was later developed by FirstBuild into beautiful and functioning products used today. FirstBuid is a co-creation community that is renovating the way products get into the market by letting a community influence the products from beginning.
