Build Yourself. Build Your World.

6 Days over 3 Weekends starting September 19 September 19-20, September 26-27, and October 3-4

Happening as a remote event, where we can ship build kits to participants in the US

Did you ever want to design or build something, but did not know where to start? We are pleased to announce the Open Source Microfactory Build Camp – where you have a chance to build a 3D printer from scratch, where you learn basic electronics and coding as you build a microcontroller from scratch, and build a 3D printed 3 phase electric motor – which you will print with the 3D printer that you built. During all of this, you will have a chance to develop basic proficiency in FreeCAD for 3D design, KiCad for circuit design, Arduino for programming, and 3D printing as you learn to design and print anything that you can imagine. You will learn how to engage in large scale collaborative design – for real, open source product. Our focus is on practical skills training and the development of real, open source products. This will take a critical mass of open source producers to reinvent the economy – based on open source microfactories and distributed production. More Info
