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 last 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 :)

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.
