RepRap Project

• Founding University project
• Machines that reproduce themselves from raw materials
• Challenge to source all parts locally

• MakerBot Industries
  • RepStrap kit
  • Addresses challenge of pulling all the pieces together to build a functioning 3D printer
  • Not unlike the original Apple Computer kit only based on OpenSource developments from the start.
  • Used to make next generation RepRaps locally

HackerSpaces and FabLabs

• Using current tech in new ways and a-typical applications
• People who enjoy making things, sharing in the process.

ModLab at ArtEngine

• Small group of individuals gather every other week.
• Work on personal projects.
• Access to non-traditional tools
