3D Printer Target Market

From Open Source Ecology
Jump to: navigation, search
  1. It is people who want to produce open source products that can be built with a 3D printer as a small sideline for Distributive Entrepreneurship
  2. This means startup sideline entrepreneurs who then expand their involvement
  3. This addresses mass creation of right livelihood as a basis for a peacetime economy, at the level of replacing corporate jobs. Environmemtal level is to follow, as byproduct of using recycled feedstocks.
  4. Fallback market is just individuals who would otherwise buy a hobby printer. Advantage of this market is there is money there, but the real power lies in Distributed Market Substitution
  5. Glabal transformation hackers, Distributive entrepreneurs, and distributive movement entrepreneurs. Essentially, those who want a sideline to fund transformative work.

Ops

  1. This implies getting a top 6 product list, 6 top simple and advanced products.
  2. 6 top simple products, 12" printer based - 3D Printed Calipers, ABS fittings, Pen, Vise, rubber mallet, Ball jar lids (pp), cutting board (pp), organizing drawers, dome connectors (to make a dome such as PVC with PC glazing. Other connectors for useful products that can't be found anywhere else, such as for a chair.
  3. Top advanced products are Cordless drill, tablet, camera mapping drone (which stitches image together), filament maker, plastic recycling shredder, CNC Torch Table, 3D printer, Circuit Mill, small laser cutter, and light router, followed by heavy mill.
