- Reading group Part 1: RepRap
- We will open our reading group with an introduction by Adrian Bowyer, who invented and created the machine RepRap 3D printer and the international community that develops and supports it. RepRap aims to control the means of production, not only to the proletariat but to everybody. There is no need to appropriate or collectivize the means of production. Let’s give it away: everyone has to have a personal self-replicating factory.
- Adrian was RepRap’s founder, and its second member was Michael S. Hart, who was also a founder of Project Gutenberg
