OSE Incentive Challenge 2020

• 320k people own 3d printers in 2015 - [1]
• Basic question is why are people not getting involved when expected payback per year is $300-2000? [2]. An answer to this lies in first testing the prints suggested and seeing the outcome. One side is developing the production engineering so it is highly reliable - at this point, it appears that

Incentive Design

1. Enforced collaboration by requiring use of accepted modules pending clear interface design
2. Requirements are specified for performance, admissible parts and interface design
3. The trick lies in explicit specification of modules in a way that degenerates design to a high degree towards a specific implementation.
4. Degenerate production engineering - one slicer, one operating system, one machje, one software toolchain, one package. Trick here is reconciling diversity of options with starting a business. For widespread distribution, we need the most open tools possible.
