Open, not for free: business models for makers

“A business model describes the rationale of how an organization

creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural

or other contexts”

A. Osterwalder

“No matter who you are,

most of the smartest people

work for someone else.” Bill Joy, Sun Microsystems co-founder

“We connect a global community of designers, engineers,

fabricators and enthusiasts to design, manufacture and market

inspired vehicle solutions. “

«Car design is a precise technique.

Design has to be precise.

If you like it, there will be probably other people will like it!»

«Disegnare un’auto è una cosa difficilissima.

Le linee devono essere precise.

Ma se a te piace, probabilmente ci saranno altre persone che, come te,

apprezzeranno quelle linee»

Una machina bela l’a pol anch ander pian.

Ma una machina brota l’e dimondi difizil ch’la vaga fort.

A beautiful car can be slow.

But an ugly car will hardly run

fast…

Digital empowered craftsmen Atoms are the new bits (C. Anderson) Maker’s movement is based on re-use and sharing of projects and their results, creativity and innovation.

Open Hardware is “a term for tangible artifacts — machines,

devices, or other physical things — whose design has been released to the public in such a way that

anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things“

Fab labs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access to tools for digital fabrication

Business: commercial activities can be incubated in fab labs but they must not conflict with open access, they should grow beyond rather than within the lab, and they are expected to benefit the inventors, labs, and networks that contribute to their success.* Ownership. 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 *Fab Lab Charter: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/charter/
