As of 2012, OSE migrated to this method of prototyping - essentially to allow 1 month of preparation and 1-2 day builds:
- Extensive preparation - CAD and fab drawings
- Usage of Fabrication Diagram Method
- Migration towards CNC torch table cutouts as in Digital Master Index
- Collaborative Production Runs - parallel builds with many people
- Scale Modeling of devices prior to builds - test-driven development
- Fabricator Training via assembly of scale models by Collaborative Production Run participants
- 2 Hour Training Session for participants on shop procedure, safety, and tool use
Details
To accomplish the above, these Design roles can be taken on in parallel:
- CAD generation
- Documentation of preparation for the production run (CAD, procedures, logistics) according to Documentation Standards for Collaborative Prototyping
- CAM generation
- Economic Analysis
- Ergonomic Analysis - determines the time required for a complete build based in 30 IPM cut through 1/2" mild steel with a 55 amp plasma cutter. See Plasma Cutter Cut Speed as a Function of Metal Thickness.
