Using First Principles Thinking to derive build procedures from existing CAD design files.

There are many things that are already implicit in building:

  1. Materials are used
  2. Fasteners are used
  3. Existing build techniques
  4. OSE-specific techniques
  5. Machines, materials, and tools - and properties of each
  6. Building codes which specify design features but no so much build procedures

The critical element of interest is procedural information - which enable any novice to approach the build speed of professionals with only a bit of practice. In fact, an instructional/blueprint enabled novice can easily outperform a 'seasoned professional' without such build procedures - who would need to spend time deriving their own procedures. This is how it is normally done, and works well for obvious design - but fails at anything more complex where thinking is required.
