Goal

Replimat is a (mostly) self-replicating and (maximally) cross-compatible building system. It is intended to be suitable for building most things most people need, and to be lots of fun.

Replimat is as an open platform for industrial independence.

Methods

  • reduce part count and cost through modularity and reusability. Design parts against the Replimat Grid.
  • 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
  • insist on openness and wide application of all components, production processes, firmwares and software
