For years my long-time collaborator Robert Bridges ( the creator of the original Shelter 2.0 design) and I had been refining the design, and had shipped kits all over the world. It was designed for efficient CNC cutting, but we kept running into the same problems. We make the CNC files available online so that anyone can cut them, but it requires a CNC machine. We can easily cut Shelter kits in our shops and ship them anywhere they were needed in the world, but that added a lot to the cost of the shelters. Or we could ship ShopBot CNC machines to the area where Shelters were needed and they could be cut onsite, in the process teaching new skills that would transfer to other products.
