Model the operation of a self-reproducing machine
Make things a bit easier and consume shorter time for everyone.
Interested in how open source hardware disseminate and maintained.
Difference between software and hardware
Personally involved in a FabLab launch in Brazil, I want to help something
Capability
Axis/head controller software connected with HTML5 interface/application
Improve gestalt framework and develop as a common OS for multi-axes machines
tweaked some codes
Do not know limitations: High-speed, high-precision
e.g. Easier design of simple electronic circuits than using Eagle
3D Printer OS:

Methodology how to disseminate the culture - encourage replications
How to make construction easier/ precise
cardboard approach
Snaplock
Application
DIY Consumables
Make a desktop filament maker for 3D printers
Recycle plastic materials (maybe refer to the FabLab Bohol (Philippine) project)
FabLab Sorocaba wanted to use plastic bottles for something
Educational kit: make a desktop milling machine or 3D printer using improved gestalt framework and commodity modules as much as possible
FabLab Sorocaba in an engineering school is starting to launch. Would like to double the number of equipments by creating them.
Make a PCB building and mount parts in alternative ways
Wanted to seek ways to make PCBs and electronic circuits easier for beginners from my past experience in htmaa.
