OSE Immersion Program

Application

OSE Boot Camp

A one week immersion course where you learn about OSE's collaborative, open source development and extreme manufacturing process, with the open source desktop microfactory as the focus. You will be exposed to the full toolchain of crowd design from idea to build, where both the hardware and software are open source. We will do hands-on rapid prototyping using FreeCAD and part libraries, 3D scanning, 3D printing, CNC circuit milling, using a small laser cutter, and making 3D printing filament from scrap plastic - where all of the associate tools are completely open source. We will teach you how to operate in a closed loop materials cycle as we recycle scrap plastic into virgin 3D printing filament. You will learn how to design a 3D printer according to our 3D Printer Design Guide and Construction Set approach using our Universal Axis motion system. We will also cover how the same Universal Axis system can be used to build the CNC Circuit Mill and small laser cutter as derivative machines. You will build your own 3D printer in one day to take home with you, eqiupped with the ability to design and build larger and smaller versions of the 3D printer.
