OSE Fellows Critical Path
Introduction
The first OSE Fellows cohort will remain involved in Desktop Microfactory topics. Fellows create their yearly Critical Path - and reevaluate any goals during their quarterly performance review.
2018-2019
- Validate XM and XE training revenue model - that it can scale to unlimited people (dozen dozen with no hint of saturation). Theoretical limit: 12 people, 10 schools each person month, 12 months = over 1000 schools per year. Must validate repeat customers with CNCCM plus laser plus filament maker.
- Validate feasibility of Design Jams on 3DP power tool Construction Set - with classrooms and libraries, and HeroX integration.
- For design Jams actively recruit science classrooms in high school and etc to validate feasibility of the Open Source Robotics Competition
- Validate scalability - Scale printer to minimum of 2x3x8 for printing up to plastic lumber
- Validate feasibility of OS Everything Store - does it support itself? Does drop ship product + online home Microfactory work? Does 3D printed self-packaging work?
- Validate economic performance of top 10 OSES products and feasibility of $50/hour net revenue capacity
- Validate materials production of bioplastics as the last step
- Validate metal embedded filaments
- Validate metal 3D printing
- Validate fired ceramic and flameware printing
- Validate fiber insulation printing, reticulated foam printing, gaskets and seals, PC glazing, plumbing, and wire-embedded printing.
- Validate team self esteem growth to enable open, nonviolent group meetings
- Validate cultural growth by frictionless direction consistent with critical path as determined by ED
- Validate 6 mm filament standard
- Validate recyclability of main filament types
- Validate fiber-embedded filaments
- Validate water hydraulic component printing
- Validate electric motor printing
- Validate feasibility of 9-printer cluster as an economic core.
