Open Source Summit North America 2023

Minvayu has developed a lightweight portable house 3d printer that is modular, flexible and able to 3d print a room or series of rooms anywhere. There is a huge need for affordable housing worldwide and using open source controllers and laser cut parts that can be manufactured globally we hope to bring the technology to a broad spectrum of users. Additionally we want to encourage the development of a new wave of digital masons, young entrepreneurs that can learn fabrication, 3d modelling and construction techniques. The goal is to create a new wave of local innovation with this new building platform. Low cost housing is needed worldwide and by using local raw materials, waste natural fibers and with proper training a local entrepreneur can start developing housing solutions. 3d printing of houses can be 40% cheaper than standard housing according to the US Army Corp of Engineers. This is the first open source portable house printer in development and we want to invite the OS community to be part of this new and exciting adventure.
