Are you entrepreneurial, and do you want to create the circular economy? Then join us in our first ever Open Source Microfactory Startup Camp. We've been working on the open source fab lab for years, and to date have developed 3D printers, and a CNC torch table, among other machines. The difference between these and anything else in the world is that our machines are easy to build from common parts, while being capable of industrial productivity - on a small scale. In the 3 week Startup camp, we'll be putting the final touches on and productizing 3 machines. First - We plan on releasing the 3-in-1 CNC machine consisting of a 3D printer, circuit plotter, and small milling machine. Second - we plan on releasing the world's first open source 3D printer with a high temperature (178 C continuous) heated build chamber. And third, nd the world's first open source CNC torch table capable of cutting up to 6" thick steel. | Are you entrepreneurial, and do you want to create the circular economy?

Are you entrepreneurial, and do you want to create the circular economy? Then join us in our first ever Open Source Microfactory Startup Camp. We've been working on the open source fab lab for years, and to date have developed 3D printers, and a CNC torch table, among other machines. The difference between these and anything else in the world is that our machines are easy to build from common parts, while being capable of industrial productivity - on a small scale. In the 3 week Startup camp, we'll be putting the final touches on and productizing 3 machines. First - We plan on releasing the 3-in-1 CNC machine consisting of a 3D printer, circuit plotter, and small milling machine. Second - we plan on releasing the world's first open source 3D printer with a high temperature (178 C continuous) heated build chamber. And third, nd the world's first open source CNC torch table capable of cutting up to 6" thick steel.
What do we mean by release? We mean publishing the final 3D designs, instructional videos, and bills of materials. We also mean publishing the the supporting enterprise assets such as production engineering, quality control, marketing assets, website templates, business plans. We will also spend some time developing distribution channels and sales strategies. producer certification,
So who is this for? If you would like to start a business producing open source machines in your local communities - you will get a deep dive into the design, build, and enterprise insights - such as distributed production engineering and quality control. So join us, and help us bring yet another Christmas Gift to the World.
