Collaboration Architecture

Summary

The working question is how you can get a large team (100+) to work collaboratively in a focused way. What infrastructure is required to do so?

This is distinct from the Amazon 2 Pizza Rule, which is based on small proprietary teams in which open documentation is not the norm. Collaboration Architecture must address Brook's Law.

STEAM Camp Collaboration Architecture

General - design + build + enterprise + education + manufacturing + testing + data collection must happen at the same time.

1. CAD - design it so it's 3D printable and verifiable
2. CAD + Enterprise - model kits come right out of design
3. Prototyping - 3D printing can happen at the same time
4. Production - production engineering should be determined.

Specific Development Elements

• 3D printed model kits - ex, OBI Arch Kit, CNC Multimachine Dev Kit. Define all the modules.
• Laser cut model kits

Infrastructure Elements

Institutions

• Immersion Program students collaborate on the collaboration architecture platform.
• Metrics - cost reduction for the performance obtained. 80/20 rule - implying 20% cost for 80% performance. That is part of the OSE Brand. And then you can also go all out and exceed industry standards as well.

Documentation

• Design Guide - The holy grail for enabling mass participation. Good for any type of build; focus on scalability, performance, cost calculations to discover the most favorable DIY space.
• Build Manual - for a single build instance

Hardware

• Small laser
• 3D printer
• Filament maker
• CNC Torch
• Heavy duty CNC machine

Software

• FreeCAD workbench for the development
