This document provides guidance on establishing a FabLab, which is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. It recommends starting from local conditions and community needs, developing a business model and plan, carefully choosing tools, and connecting to the global FabLab network for support. Key steps include identifying a host, champion, funding, site, training, projects, and ongoing development. Costs vary depending on size and equipment but typical FabLabs range from $5,000 micro labs to $100,000 standard labs. Common tools include 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, and electronics equipment.
Open P2P Design brings open source and peer-to-peer dynamics inside a community-centered design process, in order to have real co-design projects with people and their communities. We can use Open P2P Design for co-designing Open Design processes or commercial or public services with open and peer-to-peer dynamics, starting from communities and involving them inside the design process. We can also use it for analyzing an existing business and opening to collaboration some of its activities, or design new ones in order to start a collaboration with a community of users.

After more than 10 years of development, Open Design is no longer an underground hypothesis, but a real strategy that designers, companies and design institutions are increasingly embracing. Even so, many aspects of Open Design still need to be developed, tested and defined, making the future of Open Design still open.
This openness is what is making Open Design very promising, a global concept with local and distributed adaptations: not only Open Design projects can be modified and customized, but the same processes and systems behind such projects can be designed and modified in order to fit the specific needs of each locality. There is no single format, business model, system or organization model for Open Design at the moment, and this fact lets Open Design to be adopted and used in a different way in each locality. Designers are increasingly focusing on the systems that enable Open Design projects, which can be designed and developed with design tools and processes and tools and processes from other fields by working on the metadesign level.
How can we organize Open Design initiatives? What are the processes behind Open Design? How can we understand the participation of a community in an Open Design project? What about the business models of Open Design?

"Open and collaborative design processes. Meta-Design, ontologies and platforms within the Maker Movement"
Doctoral defense @Aalto University 11.11.2020
Custos: Professor Lily Diaz-Kommonen, Aalto University, Department of Media, Aalto Media Lab
Opponent: Professor Elisa Giaccardi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
The emergence of the Maker Movement has taken place in the context of a design practice and research that is now open, peer-to-peer, diffuse, distributed, decentralized; activity-based; meta-designed; ontologically-defined; locally-bounded but globally-networked and community-centered. For many years the author participated and worked in the Maker Movement, with a special focus on its usage of digital platforms and digital fabrication tools for collaboratively designing and manufacturing digital and physical artifacts as Open Design projects. The author’s main focus in practice and research as a meta-designer was in understanding how can participants in distributed systems collaboratively work together through tools and platforms for the designing and managing of collaborative processes. The main research question of this dissertation is: How can we support and integrate the research and practice of meta-designers in analyzing, designing and sharing open and collaborative design and making processes within open, peer-to-peer and distributed systems?

The challenges posed by the complexity of our times requires the Design discipline to understand the many complex relationships behind the social, business, technology and territory dimensions of each project. Such nature of complex systems lays not only inside design projects, but also inside the design processes that generate them, and the ability of organizing them through meta-design approaches is becoming strategic. Since the turn of the century, the design discipline has increasingly moved its scope from single users to local and online communities, from isolated projects to system of solutions. This shift has brought researchers and practitioners to investigate tools and strategies to enable mass- scale interactions by adopting several models and tools coming from software development and web-based technologies: Open Source, P2P, DDD (Diffuse, Distributed, and Decentralized) systems. This influence has matured over the years, and if we observed in the past how such systemic models can be applied in the design practice (part 1), we are facing now a new phase where Design will have an increasing role in enabling such systems through the analysis, visualization and design of their collaborative tools, platforms, processes and organizations (part 2). This scope falls into the Meta-Design domain, where designers build environments for the collaborative design of open processes and their resulting organizations (part 3). In this paper, we address this phenomena by elaborating the Open Meta-Design framework (part 4), that provides a way for designing open, collaborative and distributed processes (including those in the professional design domain). The paper positions the framework among current meta-design and design approaches and develops its features of modeling, analysis, management and visualization of processes. This framework is based on four dimensions: conceptual (describing the philosophy, context and limitations of the approach), data (describing the ontology of design processes), design (visualizing designing processes) and software (managing the connections between the ontology and the visualization, the data and design dimensions). We believe that such a framework could potentially facilitate the participation and the creation of open, collaborative and distributed processes, enabling therefore more relevant interactions for communities. As a conclusion, the paper provides a roadmap for developing and testing the Open Meta-Design framework, and therefore evaluating its relevance in supporting complex projects (part 5).

53. * What is a fablab? Fab labs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access for
individuals to tools for digital fabrication.
•
•
* What's in a fablab? Fab labs share an evolving inventory of core capabilities to make (almost) anything,
allowing people and projects to be shared
* What does the fab lab network provide? Operational, educational, technical, fnancial, and logistical
assistance beyond what's available within one lab.
* Who can use a fab lab? Fab labs are available as a community resource, ofering open access for individuals
as well as scheduled access for programs.
* What are a fab lab user's responsibilities?
* safety: knowing how to work without hurting people or machines
•
* operations: assisting with maintaining the lab
* knowledge: contributing to documentation and instruction
* Who owns fab lab inventions? Designs and processes developed in fab labs can be protected and sold
however an inventor chooses, but should remain available for individuals to use and learn from.
* How can businesses use a fab lab? Commercial activities can be prototyped and incubated in a fab lab, but
they must not confict with other uses, they should grow beyond rather than within the lab, and they are
expected to beneft the inventors, labs, and networks that contribute to their success

89. * The Enabler business model: launch new Labs or provide maintenance,
supply chain or similar services for existing Labs.
* The Education business model: a global distributed model of education
through Fab Labs (with the Fab Academy) where global experts in particular
topics can deliver training from local Fab Labs or even from
universities/businesses via the Fab Lab video conferencing network.
* The Incubator business model: provide infrastructure for entrepreneurs to
turn their Fab Lab creations into sustainable businesses. The incubator
provides back-ofce infrastructure, promotion & marketing, seed capital, the
leverage of the Fab Lab network and other venture infrastructure to enable
the entrepreneur to focus on her areas of expertise.
* The Replicated / Network business model: provide a product, service or
curriculum that operates by utilizing the infrastructure, staf and expertise of
a local Fab Lab. Such opportunities can be replicated, sold by and executed at
many (or all) local Labs, with sustainable revenue at each location. The
leverage of all Labs in the network simultaneously promoting and delivering
the business creates strength and reach for the brand.
