Open Design
February 15, 2006 | Levent OZLER
Open Design products were designed and produced using an alternative design and development method that frees a designer to pursue creative expressions, realize them as industrially repeatable products and have the ability to globally distribute design.
The Open Design method is based on the principles of the already successful Open Source method that revolutionized the software industry, and gave birth to a social movement that is cooperative, community-minded and seeks legitimate ways of sharing creativity.
In Open Design, the design is a two dimensional "cutout" represented as digital information.
It relies on the Internet's communication resources, to publish, distribute, and copy the designs under a CreativeCommons deed.
Coupled with the flexibility of CNC production methods, all technically conforming designs are continuously available for production, in any number, with no tooling investment, anywhere and by anyone.
