The project
What ?
A friend and I had thought to make a sort of "family tree" showing the development and variations of the reprap project (and it's inspired cousins).
The goal : is to have a nice graphic and to print some sexy poster, maybe by pre-ordering a batch with the help of a kickstarter'like to share them with the world.
The chart is now organized, we may try some other concepts, from a simple visualization with picto to a machinable version ^^ (printed/engraved)
I don't know what the final license of the artwork will be, but certainly a creative commons.
When ?
Our deadline : mid-June (cause it will be cool to display it for the opening of the http://fablabsquared.org/ during Futur en Seine in Paris)
How can you help?
Don't hesitate to mention a missing project, or if you think their is a mistake somewhere. You can comment on the following thread : reprap family tree
RepRap Family Tree - Timeline 2006-2011
The latest attempt to visualize the evolution of the reprap and some other printers over time.
As one can presume, since the Mendel the projects seems to flourish :)

v2 | PNG | web resolution | .png (save as) | --Emmanuel |
v2 | JPG | big print resolution (up to A3) | .jpg (save as) | --Emmanuel |
v2x (extended) | PNG | same as v2 but less "contracted" and thus in portrait | .png (save as) | --Emmanuel |
The files will be also accessible on Thingiverse [here] (as a mirror)
The picture of the Prusa was made with the sketchup model found here
other version
v3xL (wip) same as v2x but in a landscape format to give more room for the futur icons
Reprap Family Tree v0.7
You can see/edit this diagram at https://cacoo.com/diagrams/wKA1saahe1vsKQjW (just take care of course) It was useful to start the organization.
To Do ?
Add a comparison table of the different machines (for some spec) as a legend (maybe that's another project). RepRap - Tableau comparatif, just for the link, we need to refine that.

An interesting post by Forrest Higgs, when looking at the evolution model of the reprap.
- Basically, Reprap has two models of evolution going on in parallel.
- In the core team, we see what I will call a punctuated animal model of evolution while the larger reprap community is a very vibrant bacterial model.
