The smallest piece is a unit: a closed cabinet with a window.
The unit is designed for people to work alongside it, and it is in development from a real engineering model; the images on this page are drawn from it.
Different units can hold different machines, and they stack into a tower. By design, a tower is a small workshop.
Window
The window shows the work.
Handle
Each unit has a handle on its front.
Grid
One grid for the units
Equipment units are built on the same grid: they share a footprint, so they can sit side by side or stack, and stay aligned.
Wall
Add a unit, get a wall
Stacking height is limited; when more units are needed, the wall grows sideways.
Changing a machine means changing one unit, not reworking the whole wall.
In brief
Edgeware's aim is the garage factory: a workshop-scale place where one person or a small team can do production work that usually asks for a bigger plant. It sits between the maker's bench and a scale factory. Professional work is what we want it to carry.
The smallest piece is a unit: a closed cabinet with a window, designed for people to work alongside it. We call it the Edgeware Garage Cell. It is in development from a real engineering model; the images on this page are drawn from it.
Units share one grid. Side by side they make a long wall. They can stack too, though stacking is capped, so a bigger wall grows sideways.
Changing a machine means changing one unit, not reworking the whole wall. Units are meant to hold different machines.
Questions
- What stage is the unit at?
In development. We are developing it from a real engineering model; the images on this page are drawn from it.
- How can I follow the work?
Write to us at info@edgewarex.com for updates. Email is the way to reach us for now.
- Who is it for?
Small teams and makers moving up, and partners. Edgeware's aim is a workshop-scale place where one person or a small team can do production work that usually asks for a bigger plant.
- What do the images show?
We are developing the unit from a real engineering model; the images on this page are drawn from it. They show the design basis, not a complete physical unit that is already running.
- Is it a hobby machine or a small factory?
It sits between the two. Professional productivity is the goal we aim for.
- Can I get a specification sheet?
Dimensions and specifications are shared on request rather than on public pages. Engineers and partners can write to info@edgewarex.com and a person will reply. The downloads page explains how to request a dimension sheet and a section drawing.
