Build Anything. Own Everything.
MODS combines open-source manufacturing and decentralized collaboration to put the means of production directly in your hands.
No corporate overlords, no vendor lock-in—just pure creation potential.
Use precision 3D modeling, game engine, collaboration and mix it with a streamlined project management and documentation process.
The Unobtainium Problem: Our Unique Solution
Many of us now have access to 3D printers, CNC machines, traditional lathes and mills, but now we can open source them.
These will be the first projects after the grinder and vise cart
A lot of what I dream of doing here is inspired by the Open Source Ecology Project and its Open Source Blueprints for Civilization
We’re building more than just a manufacturing system—we’re creating an ecosystem where makers can truly own their entire production chain:
- Design your parts with precision 3D modeling
- Build with documented, tested processes
- Share and collaborate even run a business through decentralized networks
- Own your entire workflow from concept to creation
Core Components
1. Precision Design System
- Blender + Precision Modeling: Professional-grade CAD capabilities in an open-source package and a whole lot more
- Asset Library: Growing collection of precision-modeled parts ready for manufacturing and systems design
- Quality Documentation: Every measurement, tolerance, and specification and guide is captured and shared through a specific and well supported system (The Hub and MODS)
- Interactive Visualization: Using Godot engine to create intuitive, interactive documentation, design and market access.
2. Build Camps
Real-world collaborative building events where we:
- Build practical projects together (mesh networks, 3D printers, plasma cutters, skid steers)
- Document every step of the process
- Share knowledge and techniques
- Create reproducible build guides
- Strengthen our maker community
3. The Hub
Our collaboration backbone built on:
- NextCloud for file management and collaboration
- WordPress for content management
- Hive blockchain for decentralized accountability and market features
- Linux for complete system control
4. Open Asset Library
- Precision-measured and modeled parts
- Complete assembly documentation
- Manufacturing specifications
- Quality control guidelines
- Regular video updates showing new additions
- Access to Manufacturing On Demand market.
Current Projects

Why MODS?
Traditional manufacturing relies on centralized control, proprietary systems, and artificial scarcity. MODS flips this model by:
- Making designs open and accessible
- Teaching and supporting real access to real manufacturing skills and markets
- Building community knowledge
- Ensuring quality through transparency
- Maintaining accountability through blockchain
WeHaveTheTools to create anything we need. MODS provides the system to make it happen.
