Summer of Extreme Design-Build 2020

3 Tracks

There will be 3 tracks of related learning, but with different goals:

• Enterprise track - for individuals roaring to set up their own microfactory to begin producing in their own communities. You will be equipped with a skill set to produce 3D printers, CNC torch tables, plastic recycling equipment, cordless drills, 3D printing filament, and brushless electric motors.
• Student track - if you are in college and are interested in diversifying your skill set into open source fab labs for material production of appropriate technology - this is for you.
• Teacher track - if you are interested in teaching the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp, this track is for you.

Month 1

General: Printing, Shilament, and torch tables, and metal printer for heavy metal parts. Safety and safety equipment for rapid collaborative design. Safety Ground Rules

• Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp Related Topics
• 3D Printing - building D3D Simple, and up to a 4x8 foot area 3D Printer, and High Temperature 3D Printer (177C heated chamber)
• Filament Making
• Torch Table.
• Oxyhydrogen CNC Torch Table - optional if we can develop oxyhydrogen production in a reliable way.
• Skills covered: FreeCAD, Collaborative Design, Universal Axis, Universal Controller, CNC Machines - 3D printers with different tool heads: rubber, high temp chamber,
• Safety Equipment - 3D printed hard hat with ear protection and face shield, 3D printed safety glasses with cut PC, Open Source Welding Mask, shop light. Modular strap, earpieces. Skills badges 3D printed onto helmet. Your hard hat is a status badge for gamification, while retaining collaborative design and uplifting the skills of others. Exams are prepared for badges. 3D print-cast lenses with Supervolcano nozzle as casting system in chamber followed by vacuum chamber for air bubbles.
