The FoldaRap project was born from a personnal need for mobility, based on the RepRap project it was the first foldable and portable 3D-printer.

Following the "release early, release often" rule of Open Softwares, it raised many interests, and from the demand it became a product. Now it's success is giving birth to OpenEdge, a young start-up developping tools for digital manufacturing. It was a manifesto about how an open-source project should be done, then an experimentation using alternatives ways to fund the first two batches with crowdfunding plateforms. And now we are also applying a distributed manufacturing strategy, to give back to the community and keep the philosophy of the original RepRap project while scaling up. So the "bleeding edge" after which we are is not only technologic, but more about other ways to make things, alternatives for a new society.
