Kickstarter:FurnLab Open Source CNC: 7500$ for 8'x4' [UPDATE: some design info is posted in Update #4] Hi, I’m Jeffrey Matthias, founder of FurnLab, and I want to help you see your awesome designs get produced on your own CNC machine.

I also want to reduce dependence on doodads that are made in one land only to be shipped way over to another land. So here’s the pitch.FurnLab will fully develop and release building plans for an open source, production-ready, precise and fast CNC machine that anyone with a toolbox and a dream can assemble for less than: > $2500 for a 2’x4’ machine> $4000 for a 4’x4’ machine> $7500 for a 4’x8’ machine The FurnLab open source machine will be capable of producing professional-grade products, so get your design hats on and start thinking up all the possibilities. Because that’s what we did.Which is why we needed a dependable full-size CNC machine setup—so that FurnLab could successfully design, produce and sell super awesome furniture. Ideally, we’d love to do more, like … Priser - CNC FABRIKKEN - 1000dkr/timme. Crete - Hemp Building Materials - Hemp For Houses.

By Rolf B. Priesnitz, Hemphasis.net & Wikipedia Houses built from hemp have been found to use less energy, create less waste and take less fuel to heat than conventionally constructed homes. Hemp is perhaps best known for its Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids that make it a great addition to a healthy diet, and as a cotton substitute in ecologically-sound clothing and bedding. But it is also a versatile, environmentally-sound building material. A hemp crop can be grown without the use of herbicides or insecticides and produces up to four tonnes of material per acre per year. A variety of wood-like products, such as fiberboard, roofing tiles, wallboard, paneling, insulation and bricks, can be made from the compressed hurds. Foundations can be made out of hemp hurds. Hemp building boosters claim that hempcrete foundation walls are up to seven times stronger than those made of concrete, half as light and three times as elastic.

In North America, there are a few hemp houses. Hemphasis.net Wikipedia.

When it comes to new and sustainable housing ideas, it seems to always be about creating a more efficient home in terms of insulation, lighting, electricity, etc.

Mainstream belief on the subject would have you believe that top corporations and government projects are working with the best possible technology to bring forth solutions that work and are going to be great for the environment. If that was truly the case, I can guarantee you that the whole world would be using Hempcrete right now. Haven’t heard of it? I’m not too surprised. First off, what is Hempcrete? Hempcrete is a building material that incorporates hemp into its mixture. Since lime is the binding material, builders do not have to heat up the lime as much as a supplier would need to in the industrial creation of concrete. Conservation when producing Hempcrete vs. concrete. Hempcrete is a much more superior building material due to the fact that it is a very strong, lightweight and breathable material.
