OSE Boot Camp Video
Main points:
- Immersion started - for full time engagement.
- Boot Camp - is open to the public
- Design and prototyping. Boot camp is an introduction for anyone who would like to be involved in OSE design and prototyping work
- Big Idea is OSES.
- Enterprise opportunity. For those who are interested in part time work with OSE, the Boot camp is an opportunity
- But the vision is much greater. OSES.
We have just announced our first ever immersion training program - which is a selective Fellowship for people interested in working with OSE full time. The first week of this program is called the OSE Boot Camp - and it's open for registration to the greater public. The boot camp is an introduction to the world of open source hardware development - using fully open source hardware and software. The 5 week immersion program is more selective, as it is a merit-based Fellowship.
This is called the Open Source Microfactory Boot Camp - and you are invited. The boot camp is 7 days starting August 25, 2018 - and the focus is the small production tools of the desktop microfactory. As a start, you will build and take home OSE's 3D printer with you - and the rest of the time covers the set of 5 microfactory tools: the 3D printer, CNC circuit Mill, small laser cutter, and filament maker + plastic shredder to make 3D printing filament from scrap plastic. You will learn basic design techniques for 3D printed goods, for circuits, and laser cutting.
The Big Idea here is that just with the powerful digital fabrication tools of the of the desktop microfactory - by
As such, the Open Source Microfactory Boot Camp enables you to engage in an open source design and prototyping process - using 100% open source hardware and software toolchain. You will learn basics of FreeCAD and KiCAD design, using part libraries to facilitate the design process. We will teach you the basics of designing a 3D printer - so you can build one of any size and shape using our construction set, universal motion axis design system.
Beside learning the
