About
Building upon years of modular, open hardware development, the current scalable process looks like this. It must be eternal, scalable (about 100-500 modules per manager), related (Product Ecologies) as part of a multiverse of collaborative product ecosystems.
Meta:
- Design Guides - how to design. Large educational content.
- Design - actual design in FreeCAD.
- FreeCAD Workbenches. Once CAD is sufficiently developed, it is embodied in design workbenches which allow an avid novice to begin designing according to rules of the Design Guides. Workbenches go up to generating 3D printing and CNC steel cutting files, as well as 3D parts machined with the universal Multimachine. The multimachine works with any 3" stock to produce parts of 3" diameter, or larger ones from block stock. Coupled with design curriculum, and the manufacturing part (3D printing) - this is part of a powerful, rapid learning methodology.
- 3D Printing - for housing, tractors, 3D printers - there are significant numbers of parts that can be 3D printed. A 1x4x4 foot bed printer allows for 3D printing even of house modules. This must be backed by a shredder and filament maker for 1 ton per day minimum production volumes (around $1M net revenue per year).
- OSE Linux - each $1M enterprise can be captured on a dedicated Linux distribution that facilitates the integrated process of starting that particular business on a distributed scale.
