12 Printer Production Engineering

Abstract

Extreme Production Engineering is production engineering for distributed, small scale manufacturing in the form of family-run businesses. The value proposition is Distributed Market Substition, Lifetime Design, and Systems Design. When industrial productivity is achieved on a small scale, the goal is to fund people doing transformative work. The revenue goal for a business model based on Extreme Production Engineering is $1000 per person per day, which is competitive with Amazon and other top-performing corporations when gross profit margins are considered [1]. See Revenue Per Employee industry standards. Here we develop the case for a 3D printer-based enterprise.

Strategy

• Build up elements that are to be used throughout
• DIY heatbeds? Don't know distance of heater wire - need to test in practice. If heatbed is insulated, it will be easier to keep at even temperature.
