Hello, everyone, from an Open source Ecology vet. I signed up for an account just to say hi, and that I think this is a very important business, which very few of us are engaged in. We should keep in close contact.
The open source ecology project is not dead, they are still holding workshops someone’s, and the facility is still there. It’s a multi million dollar facility, I dearly wish they had and would use it more by inviting people to work there. The founder rightly points out there must be some kind of Enterprise model, though.
Perhaps they will.
I personally am working on a machine called the manufacturetron which is a bit like a 3d printer in it’s purpose, but it works differently and is capable of making highly accurate objects with smooth surfaces, fully dense, and highly detailed. It is significantly more complex than a printer, I must admit. However it is not inherently expensive.
I have a website though an organization called sensorica for the project. If you Google rugdmmac you can find it.
Sensorica is also a very important project to check out, anyone interested in this sort of thing should check it out. It is all about bringing collaborators together and making things happen. There are several notable projects under is umbrella, such as the greens for good project, to develop machinery for extracting nutrients for humans from fast, ready to grow crops like alfalfa.
My email is Anthony dot a dote douglas from the provider gmail.com. on Facebook I am Anthony Douglas, it should say I live in Cornwall, Ontario.
