-The GVCS products are cost-driven. This is true especially because of the modular nature of the entire GVCS - where standard components and modules interchange. This is favorable for a unit of economic organization (such as a large enterprise, a municipal infrastructure department, or a new community) - where  maintenance costs of a large equipment base are otherwise high or prohibitive.
-For the entrepreneur or maker, our materials costs are typically 5-10 times cheaper than the cost of turnkey, industrial products. This gap allows for a robust, cost-driven business model for the flexible fabricator market or maker. This is under the assumption of access to low-cost fabrication machinery and knowhow - to allow for effective production. These low cost tools of production are part of the GVCS.
