Kind of, I want to build a custom bike from the ground up that I will be mechanically sound to safely travel at 80mph speeds so I’ve been designing custom parts for that project. And I’m thinking I could possibly make those available for the public at reasonable prices, great quality and good customer service. Bike parts will be my main focus but I’ll be more of a job shop until I get to the point where I have a fully equipped shop todo all of the work in house.
I’m working on my business plan at the moment, I’m going to do everything in stages, that way I can slowly add more capabilities in my shop. Stage 1 will be 3d printing, growing my farm to 6 printers. Stage 2 is still 3d printing with some basic machining capabilities, I’ll still be adding a printer once every three months or so. I’m planning on having 12 standard size printers and 2 large format printers on the farm, during the later part of stage 2, I will be adding a manual mill and lathe. These will most likely be medium sized machines as the next stage starts with a move to a bigger shop where I can start investing in cnc equipment, welding, plasma cutting etc. Stage 3 will last about a year or so, in which time I will add more machines, and start acquiring/making all the various tooling I’ll need for production of frames, hubs or any odd random job that comes my way
