OSE Specifications for Product Design

To assess the technological design features of OSE Specifications, these are the most important:

1. Lifetime Design. Achieved largely by bolt-together, Space Frame construction.
2. Design for Scalability. Intensive and Extensive Scalability.
3. Modular Design. Hydralics and bolt-together space frames facilitate this. Modularity can occur on the component level as well, with the Stock Tubing and Stock Pivot Plates
4. Design for Fabrication. Design for minimal fabrication steps. Design for common parts.
5. Simplicity. Minimal parts count. Maximum redundancy of part types.
6. Low cost. Off-shelf parts. Minimum machining.
7. Meeting or exceeding industry standards. Overbuild with Space Frames.
8. Machine fit as part of a greater product ecology - on the component level, module level, and
9. Designed as a Product Ecology - at the component, module, and machine level.

The development process itself follows:

1. Test-Driven Design
2. Modular Design
3. Interface Design (Contract-First Manufacturing)
