Global Village Construction Set

The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is a modular, DIY, low-cost,
high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50
different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a small,
sustainable civilization with modern comforts. We’re developing open
source industrial machines that can be made at a fraction of commercial
costs, and sharing our designs online for free.

The GVCS in itself consists of many other Construction Sets – as we
build not individual machines, but construction sets of machines. As an
example, the Fabrication Construction Set component can be used to build
any of the other machines. Our goal is lifetime design, and low
maintenance so only a few hours of maintenance per year are required to
keep any machine alive.
