	Intensive refers to increasing size by enlarging in one or more dimensions. In one dimension, that means lengthening - such as lengthening the rods of the [[Universal Axis]]. In 3 dimensions, it means going from the basic [[Universal Axis]] to the [[1" Universal Axis]] or [[2" Universal Axis]].		Intensive refers to increasing size by enlarging in one or more dimensions.

			=Implementation=
			It is a common misconception that scalability refers to mere enlargement or multiplication of components. In some cases, this is true. But in most cases - other provisions need to be made to accommodate the enlarged/multiplied components. Thus, calculations and an understanding of design are needed - so that adaptations can be made.

			For example in 3D printing - to go from a small frame to a large frame - there will be a limit to the length that 8 mm rods can support in a 3D printer. This limit needs to be determined.

			As another example in 3d printing - to use multiple print heads at the same time - it is not sufficient to simply add more print heads. It is also important to add a mechanism that can keep all the heads at the correct distance from the build plate - probably in the form of an additional height adjustment mechanism, or additional sensors and more complicated electronics.

			In any case - the key to good scalable design is understanding the simplest way that scaling can occur - without complicating the design. Complicating the design is easy. It is harder to produce simple design.

			Scalability may occur in at least two ways:

			*Intensive - enlarging a component or unit
			*Extensive - adding multiples of a component or unit
			**May be done via layering - adding multiple layers
			**May be done via stacking
