Cube.ly

Project Charter

Cubely is an Open Hardware project which follows several specific guidelines:

• Provide a fully capable 3D printer which can be used to directly manufacture or can be used to easily create the precursors to large volume traditional manufacturing including vacuum forming, injection molding, casting and others.

• The core device must be buildable using standardized, commodity components that are widely available and under $1,000 USD . The core device must not require any other device as a prerequisite to build it (other than identified tools).

• The core device must be able to be completed by typical implementers in 30 hours or less including time to purchase components and assemble

• The core device must be able to be finished and assembled with only a modest set of tools including screw drivers, a drill press, a collection of drill bits and a circular or table saw.

• All physical elements of the Cubely project are under the Open Hardware License

• All audio, video and written elements of the Cubely project are under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License

• All source code and program binaries are under the GPL V2 & GPL V3 Licenses

• The primary goal of Cubely is to get 10,000 Open Hardware 3D printing devices in the hands of 10,000 people worldwide by Jan 1, 2013 .
