About | Getting Started | RepRap Projects | Hardware | Software | Community
(Note: See Wiki Administration#Wiki Administrators - which is a different group than the Core Team - for an up-to-the-second list of RepRap wiki sysops, and also some tips on how you can help us build a more excellent wiki).
We try to keep RepRap as open as possible - anyone can create a wiki page describing their design for an improved extruder, or their software for loading into the machine's microcontroller. Anyone can edit such pages to extend and to improve them. Such people are you (Hello!), and you are both an engineering creator of RepRap and (through such edits) one of its administrators.
However, you can also see that publishing the superuser passwords for our servers would be taking openness a bit far.
The Core Team are reprappers who have racked up a bit of seniority and who both engineer RepRap machines and sort out administrative problems. Both these activities are equally important for the success of the project.
The Core Team - who we are
Team Member | Role | Location | Description |

Project founder | Bath, UK | This guy is the man. Founder and leader of the RepRap project. (AB: Ahem! One of the advantages of a wiki is that one can dive in an edit things created by one's colleagues when modesty demands; I am but a man...) |

is a software developer and electronics designer in the North West of England by day. The rest of my life has been taken over by RepRap, details here http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com. | ||
|
is a professional student/amateur artist/ex physics grad
student located in the wilds of Canada, interested in making a fused filament fabrication reprap for the inherent coolness, and with an eye to figurative and abstract sculpture. Mostly the coolness. | ||
|
is sorting out lots of the Java host software and C firmware for RepRap. | ||
|
is a computer programmer in North Carolina. His interests include electronics, writing, critical thinking, webcomics, chemistry, physics, photography, alternative energy, cooking and figuring out where all his spare time went... | ||
|
is an artist and programmer originally from Scotland but now living in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His website is here. | ||
|
is juggling math studies, a part-time
programmer job and teaching electronics to art students. What he claims to be a healthy obsession for blinking things is only surpassed with the passion for the RepRap project. Together with Marius he forms the RepRap Team at Metalab. | ||
|
is a Norwegian who moved to Austria to be closer to his better half.
He's writing 3D visualization software by day and hacking all things blinking and moving at the Metalab in Vienna by night. He forms the Metalab RepRap team together with Philipp. | ||

have created the first working RepRap out of wood!!! They have also helped build the Makerbot. Nick was the youngest kid to build a RepRap successfully. Bruce is currently building parts to make another machine. They have a google group which you can view here http://groups.google.com/group/new-england-reprap and also now we have a google site http://sites.google.com/site/newenglandreprapgroup/ | ||

Nick still holds the title for being the RepRap kid and starting right from the beginning, with the help of his father we completed the first Darwin in the USA and 3rd in the world. Nick is planning on teaching Music Education, as well as technical education. He is also a very active Amateur Radio Operator as well as Team captain of the runner up to the world's FTC Robotic's team Renegade 154! | ||
|
is a research student at Bath University. He is working on printing with multiple different materials in RepRap for his PhD. | ||
