Open Source 3-D Printer
There are now several open source 3-D printers on the market for example:
- MakerBot Industries -- Although they have CupCake CNC kits for sale -- all the plans are available - it says "I am an open, hackable robot for making nearly anything". See a video from CES 2010 on the CupCake here
- RepRap[1]. See this article about the basic idea. Again you can buy a setup for 795 pounds here but also build it yourself. The really interesting thing about this model is the machines can produce themselves - at least to some degree. For some examples of what it can do see this.
- The original Fab@Home
- See the 3-D printing article at the P2P Foundation
There are a lot of interesting possibilities for the use of such 3-D printers to create appropriate technologies for sustainable development. This is the beginning.
Potential Applications of 3-D Printing to Sustainable Development
- hand held corn sheller
- customized prosthetics
- solar water pasteurization manifolds, absorbers
- valves
- water wheels
