| Define the production-in-focus<br>
| | Nathan Cravens: |
| State your project clearly to [http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing Open Manufacturing] to incite collaberation.<br>
| | "Here is a model to use when approaching the Open Manufacturing list with your design inquires. Please revise it for general use. The [http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing Open Manufacturing list] began as a discussion of theory. We now need to move forward and collaborate for action in order to put theory to practice." |
| Make a concise wiki for each project to inform our group.<br>

| In general practice this looks like...

| | |
| *Who will '''participate'''?
| |
| *Who has the production '''knowledge''' for construction? What is the most effective knowledge to use?
| |
| *Where can the '''materials''' be found? Who has them freely available to contribute? (or) Where can they be found for least cost?
| |
| *How can we attract '''funding'''? Where can we attract it? Will you fund the production-in-focus?

| ==Make Fab Lab==
| |
| Define the Fab Lab tool-in-focus. When the question or issue comes, ask:
| |
| *Who will '''participate''' in constructing the Fab Lab tool-in-focus?
| |
| *Who has the production '''knowledge''' for constructing the tool? What is the most effective knowledge to use in building it?
| |
| *Where can the '''materials''' or tools be found to build the tool? Who has them freely available to contribute? (or) Where can they be found for least cost?
| |
| *How can we attract '''funding'''? Where can we attract it? Will you fund the Fab Lab tool-in-focus?
| |

| ===MakerBenefit===
| |
| *A Fab Lab to use.
| |
| *Maker recieves income based on average hourly construction time when building for others.
| |
| *If average hourly paid block time remains static, the Maker has further incentive to reduce construction time, automating construction until "no assembly required." The Maker then needs the same or further access to material resources, addressed below, in order to accelerate automation practices.
| |
| | |
| ===Benefits for Investors (MetaMakerBenefit)===
| |
| *Your investment far exceeds the purchase price you and others will pay for a finished product. In other words, more money stays in your pocket after product aquisition. In the long run, with the MakerFocus and local "free market" economies in widespread practice, money will increase in value per monetary metric, meaning, more bang for the buck.
| |
| *Use of Fabrication Facilities are no charge by appointment to construct DIY. Your monetary investment and your Maker effort reduces cost to materials alone.
| |
| *For buyers, your investment generates a finished product purchased "fabricator direct" for far less than any market price. Your investment generated this savings. Current Industrial standards suspect most investors will opt for this option more often until more detailed instructive documentation or automation of assembly enhances the productive chain.
