It’s true, there’s a new project on the way- FactoryKit!.
It’s been taking weeks of work through these preliminary stages, but this new 3D printable framework for factory
automation anywhere is finally, officially, on it’s way!These widgets are being designed to be interchangable, connectable, and highly customizable. In-fact the first designs to hit MakerWorld will be OpenSCAD designs which let you pick-and-choose from a set of options per-widget!
FactoryKit is not quite ready for primetime yet, but it will be soon. Here’s a few things to expect:
- A clear and consise standards guideline to ensure cross-compatibility in the community.
- Parts and pieces to add, customize, and connect FactoryKit compatible widgets together.
- A launch of at least one set of widgets of FactoryKit.
- A free-to-use license for hobbyists, educators, & enthusiasts.
- A no-nonsense and no-cost accessible commerical license for monetized Youtubers, bloggers, education & training, social media influencers, and derivative creators & inventors. And an alternative pathway for anyone else who wants to sell FactoryKit originals.
- An introductory video and series of videos dedicated to the creation, use, and announcements for all things FactoryKit on the @orbotik YouTube channel.
- A continuing effort to release even more widgets!

So when’s this expected to begin? Well, I don’t have an exact date- there’s so much more work to do, but for sure in the next 2-3 months! Stay tuned fellow tuners!
