80/20 provides modular framing systems that can adjust to fit any industry and application. From heavy to light-duty, 80/20 modular framing will provide you with a secure and OSHA approved guard, display, workstation, etc.
It is similar in intent to the Grid Beam construction methodology.
Grid beam is a simple, easy-to-use, modular building system. The reusable pieces bolt together. It's like an Erector Set for the real world! What can I build with grid beam? Almost anything! Ordinary people with few skills and minimal tools can tackle projects ranging from furniture and shop benches to wind turbines and towers, solar panel mounts, truck racks, small buildings--even electric vehicles.
Grid Beam is a reusable structural system that allows you to dream-up and build complex projects faster than any other construction technology that you or I have ever seen!
A service which allows you to create any 3D design, and have it printed in plastic. Designs are made in 3D graphics packages such as Blender. Their technology is able to "print" any design in any shape (to some extent).
Fab@Home is a website dedicated to making and using fabbers - machines that can make almost anything, right on your desktop. This website provides an open source kit that lets you make your own simple fabber, and use it to print three dimensional objects. You can download and print various items, try out new materials, or upload and share your own projects. Advanced users can modify and improve the fabber itself.
Fabbers (a.k.a 3D Printers or rapid prototyping machines) are a relatively new form of manufacturing that builds 3D objects by carefuly depositing materials drop by drop, layer by layer. Slowly but surely, with the right set of materials and a geometric blueprint, you can fabricate complex objects that would normally take special resources, tools and skills if produced using conventional manufacturing techniques. A fabber can allow you explore new designs, email physical objects to other fabber owners, and most importantly - set your ideas free.
