What is Open Design? A generic definition
a project published with a license that facilitates its sharing and that can be “compiled” or “manufactured” locally. * sharing* collaboration* open licenses* code --> artifact

Fabbing service + marketplace: Shapeways, Ponoko, ...
Shapeways, Ponoko, ...: online services for 3D printing / 2D laser cutting in diferent materials. You can receive your product at home or sell it online in your own store --> distributed manufacturing + DIY

Fabbing in a common place: FabLab
FabLabs: a place for studying how information and matter interact and doing it in an open source and collaborative way --> user-driven innovation + DIY + collaboration

The current status of Open Design: and the process?
* single persons or small groups design a project and then just publish it online
* lack of new tools, processes, systems that enable designers and users in developing open design projects
--> where is the collaboration? --> where are the open processes?--> where are the communities?
… the experience of a user of Open Source software

… the big picture of Open Source software: the process

In Open Source!
For designers For users For enterprisesFor communities
What's needed for Open Design communities
* fnancial sustainability for designers, makers, companies* environmental sustainability* new collaborative tools* new processes and systems (supply chain, end of life...)* knowledge, research* places + events* metadesign (design of the tools, processes, systems)
Any question or comment?
Thank you!
