This 3D shape measuring design is an obvious evolution of the ruler, making it a must have EDC

A simple-looking ruler that’ll surprise you with its ability to measure everyday objects with pinpoint accuracy – sans any maths involved. The best thing is it fits in your pocket or in the backpack without taking much space!

Measuring things that have complex shapes involves a lot of mathematics – and frankly, it is not everybody’s cup of tea. Moreover, in day-to-day life, one wants to get complex measurements done in the most convenient way. After all who wants to search for complex tools or get hold of nerdy friends to do such calculations? This calls for a measuring stationery tool that can measure the length of 3D objects, curved shapes or anything else that falls in between.

Meet Ropler, a ruler designed to measure distance in 3D space while having the customary function of a ruler and a tape measure. The idea of the tool is pretty simple, yet very intuitive for practical usage. You can measure the circumference of a camera lens or take measurements of a complex vase with accuracy. The pointer on the Ropler moves as you pull out the rope, and the amount of rope pulled is pointed out by the number on the scale. To shorten the extra length of rope pulled, simply push the pointer back to the required point.

The nifty measuring tool comes with the added function of drawing perfect circles of radius up to 29.7 cm. The silver lining of the tool is its ruler-like form factor that fits in your pocket. When it’s time to measure complex-shaped objects the tool is right there to solve your problem in a jiffy. The designers have put a lot of thought into creating the Ropler, and I appreciate the effort for its pure ingenuity!

This tiny laser device can replace every single measuring tool you currently use…




Architecture, engineering, designing – all these professions are often associated with ‘building the future’. Yet they rely on tools and instruments from over a 100 years ago to get the job done.

Meet MEAZOR, an advanced measuring tool that can measure distances, scan floor plans, calculate angles, convert measurements between imperial and metric systems, and can even scale up or down your measurements. In short, this tiny device replaces your measuring tape, laser measuring gun, spirit-level, protractor, and even your scale/ruler… and it’s about as small as a burner phone.

The tiny measuring device comes with a design and form factor that’s highly reminiscent of the rather iconic Motorola Aura from 2008. Its distinctly familiar design aside, the MEAZOR is an incredibly powerful measuring device, capable of accurately scanning floor plans, measuring small and large distances (even on curved paths), working as a contour gauge, and saving all your metrics to your phone. Its curved design sports a wheel on one side (that lets you measure distances by rolling on surfaces), and a laser gauge on the other side (working as an accurate 2D scanner and laser measurer). Sitting between them is a circular multi-touch display, and a single button interface that allows you to measure distances, save the metrics, and share them to your phone. Once the measurement/profile/2D-scan makes its way to your smartphone, you can edit them, update them, convert metrics, and even share orthographic and plan drawings in popular formats. A process that requires tapes, spirit levels, rolls of blueprint paper, and infinite amounts of patience, gets reduced to a job that can take mere seconds.

The MEAZOR is powerful on its own, but is taken to the absolute next level when you pair it with the smartphone app. On its own, the MEAZOR can accurately measure small distances as well as large ones. For smaller distances, the rolling wheel lets you measure simply by rolling along any given line – straight or curved. The laser lets you easily measure large distances. You can either use it as you would a laser gun, pointing from one wall to another to calculate the distances between the two, or just attaching the MEAZOR to a tripod and swiveling it 360° to generate an accurate floor plan of a room in just seconds. You can switch between metric and imperial units right within the MEAZOR device, and even program it to scale up or down your measurements by any factor. MEAZOR records your measurements on the device, saving them as units as well as 2D plans. You can share these plans directly with devices using Bluetooth, or better still, bring them up in the MEAZOR app on your smartphone to perform CAD-level editing on them right from your mobile app. The MEAZOR app combines the device’s advanced measuring capabilities with your smartphone’s incredible computing power. Floor plans are saved to the phone as vector data that can be drawn on, edited, or updated. Floor plans can easily be populated with windows, doors, stair details, wall thicknesses right within your smartphone – this would require a computer running expensive CAD software a few years back. Once edited, vectors and 2D maps can be exported and shared with clients, collaborators, or contractors.

At less than 4 inches in length, the MEAZOR is the smallest laser room scanner currently available. Given its size, it’s impressive how it even replaces practically every measuring tool from a protractor to an inch tape. Even its laser measuring gauge is accurate up to 82 feet (25 meters). On the inside, a STM32 microprocessor handles all the heavy lifting, while the MEAZOR’s battery itself has a 30-day standby time. The MEAZOR device ships with a Type-C charging cable, a mini-tripod (for room scans), and a small screwdriver that lets you open up and replace parts down the line. The essential MEAZOR bundle ships for $129, and you can throw in an extra $29 for replacement parts, a soft-rubber cover case, and a circular screen-guard, or upgrade to the expert MEAZOR bundle (for an additional $49) and get an aluminum tripod, a 32-inch extension bar, and a soft-shell EVA carrying case for your entire kit.
