Broadly speaking, the human-manufactured part of civilization is 1/3 steel, 1/3 is plastic, and 1/3 is ceramic.
Replacing the plastic part with 3D printing on the home scale provides significant cost savings in civilization's cost of living. Thus, OSE puts a specific focus on 3D printing for any plastic parts, such as greenhouse glazing, plumbing, electrical, and other useful parts whenever possible. The goal is import substitution to locally-produced variants.
It is estimated that a high-performing 3D printer could print about $4k of otherwise purchased materials for the Seed Eco-Home - at a cost of about 1/10th of the off-shelf value.
3DP substitution is a separate item in the Development Template- where a team of OSE Developers can tackle this task as a separate, important item.
