Enterprise Track

Enterprise Track

1. Intended Audience -The Enterprise Track is dedicated to those individuals with a serious interest in starting an enterprise based on the subject matter learned.
2. Enterprise Areas - At present, we have documented productivity and revenue milestones that serve as proofs of concept for meaningful enterprises. These enterprises revolve around production of STEAM Camps, production of kits, production of finished machines, and delivery of immersion training programs for collaborative design and build. We are actively developing an open source microfactory and the Open Source Everything Store - to deliver the promise of open source, collaborative, digitally-assisted fabrication and collaborative design as the new paradigm of economic production.
3. Specific Products - During Summer X - we will be releasing the following products: (1) Large Volume Enclosed 3D printer – 2x2x3 foot working area with enclosure for retaining heat, and air filtration; Filament Making - with shredder and extruder; MicroTrac with 3D printed tracks and wheel modules; CNC Torch Table; CEB with Soil Mixer; Construction Panel 3D Printer – 4x4x8 foot panel printer, using waste plastic feedstock. Other prototypes that lead to these are described at the overview schedule
4. Co-Creation - This is likewise a collaborative, co-creation process in the format of a seminar where discussion is encouraged. During each seminar, held at the Microhouse, we select documenters/note takers. The demands of participants include active commitment to documenting the lessons learned using cloud collaborative Google Docs.
