TODO: Write Story from Background, Goal etc here, Google-Doc here and D3D Fusion Project Team Charter here. Focus on the tips I've got:

  • Broader opening that explains main characters and concepts that builds the story
  • Clearer links to earlier work

The super-project, D3D Fusion focuses on people and Distributive Enterprise. This thesis project focuses on the workshop, including the D3D Printer. Similarly to how the RepRap project focused on making any self-replicating 3D printer (not necessarily a fantastic 3D printer), this thesis will focus on creating workshop with self-propagating features.

This means tailoring a 3D printer design, creating an initial workshop plan and packaging it as a clone-able and easily modifiable kit. The core idea is to make an enterprise that spreads exponentially by mechanisms of self replication and evolution.

The evolution part is important: successful entrepreneurs share their versions of the workshop kit and will be replicated more often than the less successful attempts. This means we only need to reach the threshold of self-propagation before the kit starts to "improve itself". That is why we should focus on achieving the first propagation rather than perfecting a single part of the D3D Workshop Kit.
