EZ grid beam

create a website like Thingiverse for Grid Beam furniture (example from 2013 me).

sell Grid Beams by partnering with a local CNC manufacturing company, like gridbeam.com

why?

Grid Beams are a square columns with holes drilled every width of the column, starting at a half width (so you can cut a beam in half and it is still compatible)
Grid Beams are like Lego for adults, a protocol for re-configurable building parts using standard wood or metal materials
Grid Beams are re-usable, no destructive screws, only easy bolts that anyone can assemble and disassemble
Grid Beams allow you to evolve your furniture patterns as you needs change, your furniture is alive not dead

job stories:

when i want to find furniture patterns,
- i can browse patterns by tags, author, etc
- i can search patterns based on name, description, tags, author, etc
when i want to design a furniture pattern,
- i can create a new pattern
- i can fork an existing pattern
when i want to "buy" a pattern,
- i can order the necessary bundles of beams and accessories (attachments, plates)
- i can pay for my order
- i can set my delivery address
when i want to manufacture Grid Beams,
- i know what standard wood or metal materials are necessary to buy
- i receive standard instructions and CAD files that are appropriate for my CNC machine

the pattern editor is basically a simplified 3d modeling program, that allows you to add, update, or remove beams on a grid.

TODO

build a landing page

create grid beam renderer
- input: beams, bolts, panels
- use jscad-viewer or csg-viewer
render examples
- basic desk
- corner desk
- shelves
- bed frame
- corner desk with shelves and bed frame
layout
- hero
  - animation of re-configuring grid beam
- values
  - adaptable, flexible
  - durable, re-usable
  - made locally
  - fun to use
- explainer
- examples
- call to action

renderer

threejs
- example voxel painter: https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_interactive_voxelpainter
can we have a mesh for a single "block"
- then link them together for a "beam"
then have a mesh for a bolt
