We plan to start off with at least 600 sqm and scale it up to 1,500 sqm. Does anyone know where/how to find a good financial model to help us launch this? If there isn't a solid open source financial model now, we'd like to make our model totally open source once it's built. <div>
<br></div><div>If there is no comprehensive template, do you know where to find usage data for the equipment, e.g., 3D printers, 3D scanning, CNC, vinyl cutter, etc...? We plan to have a full range of equipment. Happy to share more details on what we're planning. </div>
