D3D Workshop Marketing

Introduction

We have so far produced 2 versions of products based on the Universal Axis - the 3D printer and the CNC Circuit Mill:

These are implementations of the same Universal Axis system but with different toolheads, and other toolheads will be added to this ecosystem. These are ready for production in OSE's Extreme Manufacturing Workshops. They are 2 tools of the 50-tool Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). Other release candidates for Extreme Manufacturing Workshops include the Microtractor, CEB Press, Seed Eco-Home, Aquaponic Greenhouse, and CNC Torch Table.

The 3D Printer + CNC Circuit Mill are chosen as the first 2 products because they are small tools with large markets, and are the easiest of all the GVCS machines to replicate. As such, they are the initial products, to which we will add other GVCS machines as they are developed.

Scalability Goals

The goal for the 2018 1 Month Immersion Training is to hire 6 full time developers/OSE Fellows who spend about 1/4 of their time running workshops. The workshops provide revenue such that 75% of the Fellows' time can be committed to further product R&D. The global 3D Printer Market Size in 2016 was $6B. OSE's product line involves the Global Village Construction Set - key infrastructure building technologies of at least $1B market size each. Our claim is that by combining immersion production education for entrepreneurs with production in the Extreme Manufacturing model, we can capture a significant market share. The inention of OSE is to scale its effort to $940B by 2041, or 1.4% of the global economy (the Tipping Point for the open source economy).
