[https://replimat.org/ Replimat] (also known as [https://reprap.org/wiki/RBS_Overview RepRap Building System]) is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware open source] [[modular construction systems|modular construction system]] anyone can make for themselves at home.


Replimat [[:Category:Parts|parts]] are infinitely reusable, require only a few tools, and are compatible with other building systems.  Machines made from Replimat can reproduce many of their own [[:Category:Parts|parts]].
Welcome to the [https://replimat.org/ Replimat] Project, also known as the [https://reprap.org/wiki/RBS_Overview RepRap Building System]. As an open-source modular construction system, Replimat provides you with the resources to construct a wide variety of machines at home using reusable [[:Category:Parts|parts]]. Designed for ease of assembly and disassembly, our parts are constructed from durable, reusable, renewable, recycled, and recyclable materials, making each part a multi-use carbon sink that contributes to a more sustainable future.


Parts are designed for disassembly, cradle-to-cradle reusability, and constructed from waste or other durable, reusable, renewable, recycled and recyclable materials. Each part forms a long lasting, multi-use carbon sink for the waste streams of other processes. Parts fit a [[Grids|modular grid]] of holes which permit bolting and unbolting at regular intervals.  All parts interoperate along the same uniform pattern.
Machines built from Replimat parts can be used to reproduce many of their own components, significantly lowering costs, decentralizing production, localizing supply and demand, and enabling innovation. This system reduces inventory and storage requirements enabling individuals and small groups to create custom solutions to their unique challenges. Parts we haven't replicated yet are referred to as [[vitamins]] and can be sourced from existing processes or manufacturers.


Self reproduction lowers cost, decentralizes production, localizes supply and demand, enables innovation, reduces inventory and storage requirements, spreads knowledge, and empowers individuals and small groups. Parts we haven't replicated yet are known as [[vitamins]] and must be sourced from existing processes or manufacturers.
Replimat's design promotes simplicity and reusability, allowing anyone to build projects quickly and efficiently. Our system is designed for disassembly and reuse, reducing manufacturing requirements and ensuring worldwide availability. All parts are compatible with [[modular construction systems|other building systems]] and interoperate along the same [[Grids|uniform pattern]], offering versatility and adaptability for a wide range of projects.

==Reasons to use Replimat==
==Progress==
* Build projects fast while having fun!
○ = Conceptualization and planning<br>
* Simple to learn and use
◔ = Identifying vitamins and [[grids|grid]] intersections<br>
* Designed for disassembly and reuse
= Documented and drawn in CAD<br>
* Standard components drastically reduce inventory, manufacturing requirements
◕ = Examples built<br>
* Worldwide availability
● = Nothing more to remove<br>
* Interoperate with [[modular construction systems]]
 
==Design goals==
* The '''right way''' is the '''easiest to copy'''.
* Design parts against [[grids]] to reduce complexity and increase [[modularity and reusability]]
* favor parts which can be locally reproduced and have wide application
* enable local production via locally made machines
* consume waste materials for use as raw materials wherever possible - [[trash to treasure]]
* promote pools of compatible parts, within which innovation can happen as fast as communication
* strive toward openness and wide application of all components, production processes, firmwares and [[software]]
* Choose reused, recycled, or renewable [[:Category:materials|materials]]
* Avoid unnecessary [[:Category:Transformations|transformations]].  Reduce modifications to standard [[:Category:Parts|parts]] wherever possible.

Designed for ease of assembly and disassembly, our parts are constructed from durable, reusable, renewable, recycled, and recyclable materials, making each part a multi-use carbon sink that contributes to a more sustainable future.

Machines built from Replimat parts can be used to reproduce many of their own components, significantly lowering costs, decentralizing production, localizing supply and demand, and enabling innovation. This system reduces inventory and storage requirements enabling individuals and small groups to create custom solutions to their unique challenges.
