Intro

These are the technical milestones required for the smooth operation of a Village Campus by 2028. These milestones refer to industrial performance necessary to both produce industrial productivity on a small scale - meet strict quality control standards - and harmonize with lifecycle stewardship that leads to regenerative development and afforestation.

Milestones

  1. 100 micron accuracy, precision, and repeatability of 3D printing features in plastic, or about the limit of human eyesight.
  2. RAMPS-based heavy duty machining with 1000 lb of force and 10 micron accuracy. See Machining Forces.

Other

  • Validate Solar Cement Calculations of 5 tons/day for 200kW array
  • Can MIG Casting convert 3D printed parts to steel and aluminum with sub 1 mm resolution?
  • Can a 100kW induction furnace be built for $5k for the power electronics, cooling, and heating coil? Crucible is included.
  • Can cutting gas oxyhydrogen be produced at a cost of $500 per 10kW?
  • Can a welder power supply for MIG be built for $100 for 10kW?
  • Can a 100kW induction furnace produce 2500 lb of 3" ingot feedstock per day?
