OSEDev Kit

OSE mission is building the open source economy and not any one specific implement, therefore the primary driving force of the kit releases is to maintain a consistent release schedule and not necessarily to get specific tools/features into each kit (delays in new features/implements should not delay the releases).

There are 3 product lines:

1. Dev Kit - Releases every 6 months.
2. Home Kit (Assembled Dev Kit) - Releases annually in June.
3. Shop Kit (Dev Kit + industrial tools/machines) - Releases annually in January.

Currently projected versions:

• V0.1 is based on already existing 3D printer and filament maker designs/prototypes so the main effort will be in productizing and building out the OSE Market.
• V0.6 does not specify the additional implements until we are closer to the deadline.
• V1.1 is a year away and gives enough time to get at least a few more implements added to the kit. An important milestone for the Dev Kit.
• V1.6 introduces the Home Kit line and we start selling individual parts, upgrade kits, etc.
• V2.1 introduces the Shop Kit line.
• 6 month release cycle for dev kit and 1 year release cycle for home/shop kits continue.

The overarching goal in this schedule is for it to be hard to fail. If we're less likely to fail then we're more likely to succeed!

Dev/Home Kit

Note; kit provides "vitamins" as in RepRap, and rest is bootstrapped by the OSE Developer. With access to filament maker, a significant infrastructure can be built to bootstrap from zero. Drill press drills holes in steel plates such as reinforcement of CNC torch table carriage (metal-plastic-metal sandwich = MPM). MPM technique can produce powerful tools at extremely low cost with access to filemt maker
