lkfitz's bookmarks 2016-12-21
Summary:
"This key project will document, analyse, test, evaluate, and create awareness about a new mode of value creation, based on the conjunction of the digital commons (e.g. open knowledge, software and design) with desktop manufacturing and automation technologies (e.g. from 3D printing and CNC machines to low-tech tools and crafts). This convergence could arguably play a key role in designing sustainable models of production, such as the “design global, manufacture local” model."
