Anyone know of a group trying to Open up Manufacturing itself - so I
can get access to the expensive tools needed to implement one of these
designs?
In general I think that the OM community on this list is doing that. If you want something more focussed on exactly what you're talking about, see:
RepLab (rep...@googlegroups.com, http://groups.google.com/group/replab?pli=1)
It's an offshoot of the Open Source Ecology project inspired by the RepRap and FabLabs.
The list is pretty quiet, IMHO because we're heads down getting on with realising that vision. :-)
Cheers,
