Mission: Build an entry level (under $500) EDM machine for making carbide/HSS tooling and/or lead screws.

Machines that Make The Machine that make project at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms seeks to develop low-cost machines that can be made using CNC equipment, like available in fab labs.

Algae may also be an interesting option and could be fed with CO2 coming off of the flue gas stream.
