The Impact

The impact that I hope to see with the creation of the RepRap Machine is; I hope to open the door for myself and other mechanically and sculpturally inclined people to allow them to connect the digital world to the real world . Developing ideas on CAD based programs to be interpolated into the real world with this machine. This allows for lots of opportunistic for both myself and others. One project that I am excited to start work on once I have completed the RepRap Machine is, I hope to create elaborate clocks that show the mechanical gears that make them run. My long term plan is to set up a a web site that will allow everyday people to submit CAD based projects that can be printed by the RepRap. These creations would then be sent to the creators once the cost of creating and shipping are taken into account. I'm also hoping to add a 24-7 web cam on the RepRap so you can watch and record progress on your creation. The over all impact of the creation of this machine I hope will be as a tool to allow myself and others to expound on their creativity.
