The document discusses the concept of open design, which involves publishing CAD files online under a Creative Commons license so they can be freely downloaded, copied, modified, and produced by CNC machines without special tooling. Open design has two limitations: modifications must be shared under the same license and the license prohibits commercial uses. The document advocates for open design to help connect producers, designers, and consumers and give designers more control over the creative process. Early adopters of open design are more focused on the process of making things than what specifically is created.

1. THE BEGINNING OF A
BEGINNING OF THE
BEGINNING OF A
TREND / PETER TROXLER

4. If you want to make the chair more
comfortable, it s an open design.
Go ahead, make it comfortable, add your
nice ideas. Hack it .

5. He wanted a field on the Internet in industrial
design like graphic design and game design
already have, to boom creativity
.

6. PLEASE COPY.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A BUSINESS OUT
OF IT, THEN CALL ME AND WE LL DISCUSS
ROYALTIES.
IT IS MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
AFTER ALL; THAT S THE BOTTOM LINE.

7. Open Design is based on two preconditions
1 An Open Design is CAD information
published online under a Creative
Commons License to be downloaded,
produced, copied and modified.
2 An Open Design is produced directly from
file by CNC machines and without special
tooling.

8. There are only two limitations:
These modifications and derivatives must be
shared under the same license, and the
license prohibits commercial uses.

9. Share the source code,
Allow anybody to download,
Copy and modify it without requiring any
special skills or tools
As long as you follow Creative Commons
license

10. He is introducing Open Design gradually,
helping companies and influencing how
people understand what quality is, how to
make the connection between the producer,
Open Design and consumers, to search the
next stage.

11. He wants to put the designer firmly back in
the center of the design process.
It s really about having control of creative
output.
I have to find a way to ensure that my
creativity will not stop at the producer s front
door.

12. Yet these early adopters are more into
making things for the sake of making,
regardless of what they create, whether it s
some mechanical toy or decoration for their
laptop.

13. Material → Information
Industrial design → Open design
Products become Information
becomes products
