Introduction
Learning from SMEs is a good way to engage in rapid learning, and this is central to OSE's work. If the SMEs understand open culture, then good collaboration can occur. The most useful SMEs are producers of goods or services that lend themselves to OSE's Extreme Manufacturing Workshops or Extreme Learning Workshops in general. These workshops involve education (knowledge is the most valuable currency in the information age) and production - which are both forms of capital that can provide positive feedback loops in product development that could yield the open source economy.
OSE relies heavily on SMEs to opensource the economy.
Hydraulics
- Designing an open source hydraulic cylinder (such as 5" for CEB press, currently $600 to source, and not reliable sourcing)
- Reviewing hydraulic control circuits (many OSE devices) - such as 2-speed tractor control
- Open Source Solenoid Valve for CEB Press
Stepper Motor Controllers
Towards a Design Guide for an Open Source Stepper Motor Controller. RAMBO is the highest power available. Need a system that is infinitely scalable to any number of motors and functions for the CNC Construction Set and Open Source Microfactory.
Gas Control
Towards continuous flow control solenoids in torching applications, starting with open source design of an on-off gas solenoid, and design of a gas control system using off-the-shelf solenoids.
CNC Controls
Workflow for CAD to toolpath generation to Gcode to computer control software using completely open source toolchain. Includes good software interfaces to make this user friendly. Includes encoders. Includes microcontrollers, open source stepper controllers, open source solenoid valves, and other open source components.
CEB Press
