For any OSE engagement, we filter through the [[OSE Vision]]: '''Collaborative Design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance.''' Translated for the 3D printer:

#Abundance - This implies a [[Construction Set Approach]] for the 3D printer - which provides much more value than a [[Dedicated Product Approach]]. Thus, at the basic level, we design 6 frame sizes at the same time: 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24" frames.

##In the more advanced level, we also use the 8" frame for a precise printer with 4" bed
#Inclusive - Using the above abundance principle, we achieve inclusion of nature: zero waste in the materials used when starting from a 4x8' sheet of steel with 6 nested frames. The smallest cutouts can serve as heated beds for printers.


=Overall Product Line=
=2019 Product Strategy=
Overall, OSE features the full [[Scalability]] of sizes, based on one of the key properties of [[OSE Specifications]]. The full product line that will be offered by OSE is:


==Education Series==
*See [[3D Printer Product Strategy 2019]]
#D3D Simple - a simplified 3 axis system for educational use that can bootstrap to any of the larger or more advanced machines
 
==Pro Series==
This line is intended for professional use
#D3D Micro - super precise prints, 4" bed size
#D3D Mini - like [[Lulzbot Mini]], 6" bed size
#D3D Eco - the standard version with 8" print bed and insulated heat bed
#D3D Mega - 12" bed size and up
#D3D Giga - 36" bed size and up
#D3D Terra - 48" bed size and up, for producing construction materials
==Industrial Series==
Higher performance machines for industrial production, including toolheads for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, clay 3d printing, and cement 3D printing. Th Extreme Temperature (XT) line features a heated build chamber that goes up to 178C in the standard version, or higher for higher temperature  printing. Terra is a play-on-words on tera-, emphasizing the ecologogical aspects of our production ecosystem: plastics recycling infrastructure, high level of modularity, and a support community for product development featuring OSE's Incentive Challenge methodology.
