Are you entrepreneurial, and do you want to build 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, CNC Circuit mill, a CNC torch table, among others. Our focus is distributed, open source production - and that means taking project the last mile - to production. 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, the world's first open source CNC torch table capable of cutting up to 6" thick steel.
What do we mean by productizing? We mean publishing key assets such as the designs, build instructions, instructional videos, and bills of materials. We also mean publishing the the supporting enterprise assets such as the production engineering, quality control procedures, marketing assets, distribution and sales strategies, and distribution channels. Simply put: all the assets that enable the entrepreneur to put a Buy Button on their website, and to deliver the product with verified quality control. We believe in growing the pie for everyone - so anyone can make a living using our freely downloadable plans. We will also offer certification in the future - for producers who would like to produce to Open Source Ecology standards.
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. You will join a community of dedicated open sourcerers - who are convinced that the next economy is the open source economy. So join us, and help us bring yet another Christmas Gift to the World.
The difference between our machines and anything else in the world is that our machines are easy to build from easy-to-source parts - being capable of industrial productivity on a small scale - and designed for a lifetime.
