We follow a strategy to circumvent unnecessary costs for customers by realizing a '''social vision'''. In accordance with the principle of '''open hardware''', information where to get the necessary components, quantities, a step-by-step technical construction manual and circuit diagrams could be '''published online for free'''. So our profit not of financial nature but is instead based on recognition and on motivating other iGEM teams and companies to spread the idea of open hardware, too. | We follow a strategy to circumvent unnecessary costs for customers by realizing a '''social vision'''.
