Replimat is a (mostly) self-replicating and (maximally) cross-compatible building system. It is intended to build most things most people need, and to be lots of fun.
Replimat is Open Source Hardware and an example of the Open Design Movement. The Replimat project follows a community code of conduct.
Methods
- design parts against the replimat grid 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
- insist on openness and wide application of all components, production processes, firmwares and software
Ways to help
- Join the mailing list
- Create a wiki account, a page for your project, and upload some photos!
- Install the Replimat software.
- Purchase vitamins for the project from the Replimat Amazon wishlist
- Sign up for a build day.
What is Replimat made of?
Keeping the number of parts small reduces the infrastructure needed to reproduce them.
Frames / Plates / Casters
Bolts / Nuts / Washers / Wrenches
Barrels
Wheels / Bearings / Axles / Springs
Controllers / Batteries / Electrical connectors / Wires / Motors / Solar panels
Pumps / Hoses / Clamps / Couplers / Exchangers
Cord
What makes more Replimat?
Keeping the number of tools small, simplifies replication.
| Input material | Project | Output part |
|---|---|---|
| Raw lumber, plastic or metal square stock | Lumber mills / Frame drills | Frames |
| Plastic waste | Shredders / Pellet printers | Category:Plastic parts |
What can we make with Replimat?
So many things! Growing the number of projects helps the whole community.
