OSE Incentive Challenge End State

Technical

• Production engineering is developed to allow the build of the production tools solely from scrap plastic, rubber, aluminum, zinc, copper, spring steel wire, and welding wire - reducing material cost outside of electronics and batteries to $5.

• BOM cost for electronics
• Startup cost is from 0 to $2000 for all the tooling. 0 cost is via apprenticeship program. $2000 is material cost for microfactory: printer, slow grinder, filament maker.
• Microfactory kits are available (you can buy a drill, or the production infrastructure for making drills)

• 3D Printed Linear Bearing-type technology is used
• Production machine is extensible from 3D printing to milling and CNC torch cutting, and costs under $1500 for the 3D printer, router, mill, and torch
• Contest pushes open source state of art in 3D printing
• Rubber-optimized extruder is optimized. This is part of production tooling.
• Automatic tool change is implemented for the 3D printer.
• At least 2 materials (2 colors) 3D printing capacity is implemented
• Printer must be able to do 4 materials total (ABS, rubber, teflon, PEEK or ULTEM)
• 3D printed gears are
• Chuck/gear metalcasting is acceptable if production engineering efficiency can be met
• MIG casting and/or lost PLA casting is developed for simple metal parts while meeting production engineering requirements
• Filament maker and slow grinder are developed.
• Efficient 3D printer is enclosed, with bottom-insulated heatbed and insulated heater block.
• Data collected provides a wide range of technical details on every aspect of the printer. Data collection design is extensive for both the machines and the production ergonomics.

Qualitative

Inspiration, Feelings, Mood Setting

• Distribution of Hope is visible by the small or nonexistent number of trolls
• Process of unbridled collaboration is inspirting and eye-opening to participants
• Incentive structure accomplishes pushing forward technical state of art significantly
• Large number of(1000+) contributors make substantial technical contributions to the design because they are motivated by the scope and utility of the project

Cultural Change

• A new possibility of hope is produced regarding the feasibility of collaborative development, and open source economics in general
• Distributive Enterprise enters the cultural lexicon

Visible Difference

• Cordless drill industry transitions to lifecycle design as cordless drills are no longer ever thrown out in their entirety. Time frame?
• Media coverage reaches academic and popular economic literature including Forbes, Time, etc.
• A visible example of monopoly breakdown creates a cascade of other projects inspired by the example
• Other groups begin using the OSPD techniques that were proven in the contest - for unleashed collaboration to develop a range of other products
• Many economic development organizations around the world jump on the possibility of entrepreneurial development and begin producing cordless drills
• A collaboration protocol and platform is created for continuing product development
• Hackathons for further product development occur monthly in every major city worldwide
• First ever example of wide enterprise replication on
• Monopoly production becomes a minority occurrence in power tools, and is on its way to extinction as economic production returns to communities
• Large outlets such as Walmart and
• Gross National Happiness is begins to take hold as a meaningful metric in countries other than Bhutan
• Conribution of the cordless drill industry to Gross National Happiness increases

Quantitative

Incentive Challenge Preparation Process

• Leading appropriate technology advocates are recruited as judges and advisors - Hackaday, MOST, Instructables, MAKE, Fablabs, Lulzbot, OSHpark, Element 14, Buildlog, SZOIL, OSHWA, Sparkfun, OBI)
• Marketing channels are engaged in the development of the incentive challenge
• Ample funding is secured for proven-technology integration 'stretch goals' such as dual movable extruder, automatic tool change. Prizes are NOT awarded unless earned according to well-defined criteria, and money is allocated to the Post-Challenge Conference instead.

Incentive Challenge

• "Publish early and often" philosophy is demonstrated with continuous and ongoing uploads, sharing, and remixing of designs on the wiki
• A minimum of 100 complete entries are submitted (completed entry means a build product, with documented production engineering)
• Production engineering and quality control is defined for 12 builds per day (outside of continuously 3d printed parts) using a single 3D printer (12" print bed size or larger)
• Production engineering is defined where in a 30 day period, a minimum of 3 production runs can be made (36 drills produced)

After Unit - Enterprises Started

• Conference of Producers is held in a major city or at the OSE headquarters.

• The full production engineering is showcased for the winning model - including full setup of 3D printed organizing infrastructure, machine tools, production line, demo or ordering terminal for online orders
• Conference is used to market the drills - people can order them from OSE or from others.

• Upon completion of the incentive challenge, all the entrants (100+) start a part time (or more) enterprise providing cordless drills to one or more of their local stores (within a 1 hour radius)
• Big Box Store test cases are achieved in several locations
• Teams of 4 collaborating producers are created to supply each Big Box store
• Online enterprise infrastructure is created for all producers, with OSE branding possibility. As Emily suggested, Marcin's Freedom Drill etc branding per person.
• Packaging design is part of the incentive challenge. Packaging case is 3D printed in 2 colors.

Operational

• Global cordless drill Distributive Enterprise is financially self-sustaining including for continued product R&D, traning, standards creation.
• Revenue bootstraps continued development to additional manufacturing infrastructure, as well as to product diversification to all cordlesss tools initially, and eventually to other products and sectors
• Infrastructure is created for teaching people to start an enterprise
• OSE develops scalable training and certification infrastructure
• Product tracking is automated for lifecycle design while maintaining privacy and remaining as open data
• Low cost microfactory design is provided as open source for ensuring low cost of startup.
• Startup costs are mitigeted via an onboarding plan that starts with smaller scale or more labor intensive production, until revenue bootstraps further infrastructure.
• Mentorship and startup assistance program is created to absorb and train any new producer
• Clear protocols and methods (collaboration architecture, incentive challenge design principles, open source development protocols, collaborative literacy creation) are defined as a result of the OSE Incentive Challenge
• This OSE Incentive Challenge results in a clear validation of the economic model of the distributive enterprise incentive challenge
• A dedicated organization is created for running the OSE Incentive Challenge for other products
• Sound governance is established for the OSE Incentive Challenges organization.

OSE Movement

• OSE is put on a direct path to OSLO
