OSE builds 3D printers and tractors in one day, and 1400 square foot houses in 5 days - via its Extreme Manufacturing build events:

The revenue model involves charging people for a build experience, and people can take the product home with them.

For example, 12 people can sign up for a 3D printer workshop. Materials for the 3D printer cost $500. We charge $800 for the build experience - where people take their 3D printer home with them.

=Case Scenario=
*Workshop with 12 builds of the 3D printer
*People register at $300 above the Bill of Materials cost of the 3D printer ($500)
*OSE generates $3600 of revenue in a single workshop (12*$300)

=2 Revenue Streams=
*The 3D printer can be build in the Extreme Manufacturing workshop scenario above - or we can sell kits
*OSE supports buyers with remote build guidance as needed.
*People who buy a kit prepare the main components (frame, 5 axes, heat bed, controller, and extruder
*We then support the people for about 2 hours that are needed to assemble the entire machine to first printing
*Both the Kits and the Extreme Manufacturing build cost the same.
*Advantage of kit is that people don't have to travel to a workshop

=Operational=
*OSE will test targeted FB ads to market the 3D printer
*We have an interest form to capture interest in our workshops - [https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/request-a-workshop/]
*Fulfillment happens in house, with 1-4 hours of preperation per kit, depending on who is doing it
*Distributed operation - OSE staff works as a distributed team

=Growth Strategy=
OSE started its [[Immersion Training]] in 2018, and now hired 2 full time staff.
