I work in a rapid fabrication studio where we teach classes on and give access to many cnc machines. I see lot's of cool projects and people doing what they want, which is awesome, but I often worry about altruism in this environment. It's a catch 22 in our shop to encourage people to succeed but then see it springboard them into larger scale manufacturing that requires outsourcing and it bothers me on a personal level to see some people make such big personal gains instead of thinking on a larger scale like you're talking about.
How to you hope to encourage the use of this technology and especially the access to it for altruistic causes?
