3 Tracks

There will be 3 tracks of related learning, but with different goals:

  • Enterprise track - for individuals roaring to set up their own microfactory to begin producing in their own communities. You will be equipped with a skill set to produce 3D printers, CNC torch tables, plastic recycling equipment, cordless drills, 3D printing filament, and brushless electric motors.
  • Student track - if you are in college and are interested in diversifying your skill set into open source fab labs for material production of appropriate technology - this is for you.
  • Teacher track - if you are interested in teaching the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp, this track is for you.


Month 1

General: Printing, Shilament, and torch tables, and metal printer for heavy metal parts. Safety and safety equipment for rapid collaborative design. Safety Ground Rules

  • Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp Related Topics
  • 3D Printing - building D3D Simple, and up to a 4x8 foot area 3D Printer, and High Temperature 3D Printer (177C heated chamber)
  • Filament Making
  • Torch Table.
  • Oxyhydrogen CNC Torch Table - optional if we can develop oxyhydrogen production in a reliable way.
  • Skills covered: FreeCAD, Collaborative Design, Universal Axis, Universal Controller, CNC Machines - 3D printers with different tool heads: rubber, high temp chamber,
  • Safety Equipment - 3D printed ear protection, Open Source Welding Mask, eyewear with cut PC, and hard hat, shop light. Modular strap, earpieces. Skills badges 3D printed onto helmet. 3D print-cast lenses with Supervolcano nozzle as casting system in chamber followed by vacuum chamber for air bubbles. Your hard hat is a status badge for gamification, while retaining collaborative design and uplifting the skills of others. Exams are prepared for badges.

Month 2

  • Tractor, Bulldozer, and 360 Degree Backhoe
    • First ever 3D printed rubber tracks and wheels
  • Brick Press with Soil Mixer
  • Baler

Month 3

  • Aquaponics Greenhouse
  • CEB Houses
  • Ponds and keylines


  • Aquaponics system with planting drones
