WebWax, a brief introduction

Hello, we are the Team 7

This is a new invented company which combines two great ideas. It combines the Reprap, an open source project from an university, and knowledge about bees and apiculture. RepRap is the famous type of 3D printer that replicates itself. Obviously to replicate itself implies components like the plastic that is being fused to become part of a new piece. What would happen if wax is being melted instead of fused plastic?

The idea is to melt wax to create honeycombs, hives or complex apicultural stations. The new parts of the new hives will produce more wax and with this new wax more hives will produce more hives. It follows a self-replicating process similar to the Reprap.

As you may feel, the very name tries to sound like the reprap with apicultural nouns.
