Open Source Hardware Project RepRap Creates its First Circuit
,----[ Quote ]
| RepRap is an open source hardware project that aims to create a
| self-replicating machine or a 'universal constructor' by using rapid
| prototyping. That means the machine can manufacture objects directly
| including itself, endlessly.

| I spotted an interesting story in the Guardian newspaper over the
| weekend about RepRap, the "self-replicating rapid prototyper" project
| at Bath University.

| "I did not want an individual, company or country to make money from
| this," Rep Rap founder, Dr Adrian Bowyer, told The Guardian. The
| results of the RepRap project are available under the GNU General
| Public License and are available at SourceForge.
|
| Another point of interest, given the current climate in the open
| source market, is that it is already being predicted that RepRap will
| fall foul of IP lawyers. "Somewhere along this line the intellectual
| property people are going to come in and say 'No we don't want you
| all printing out Ferraris and we don't want you printing out
| pizzas'," Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, told The
| Guardian.
