We begin by describing the concept, available definitions 8 9 and consider its evolution where recent production technology developments (such as 10 11 additive and continuous production process technologies), digitization together with 12 infrastructural developments (in terms of IoT and big-data) provide new opportunities. 13 14 For Peer Review Only 15 16 To further explore the evolving nature of DM, the authors, each of whom are involved in 17 specific applications of DM research, examine through an expert panel workshop 18 19 environment emerging DM applications involving new production and supporting 20 21 infrastructural technologies. This paper presents these generalizable findings on DM 22 challenges and opportunities in terms of products, enabling production technologies, and the 23 24 impact on the wider production and industrial system. Industry structure and location of 25 26 activities are examined in terms of the democratizing impact on participating network actors. 27 28 29 The paper concludes with a discussion on the changing nature of manufacturing as a result of 30 31 DM, from the traditional centralized, large scale, long lead-time forecast driven production 32 operations, to a new DM paradigm where manufacturing is a decentralized, autonomous near 33 34 end-user driven activity. A forward research agenda is proposed that considers the impact of 35 36 DM on the industrial and urban landscape. 37 38 39 40 1. Introduction 41 42 Previous eras of large-scale manufacturing have been characterized by progressive 43 44 centralization of operations, dating back to the time of the Industrial Revolution and the 45 46 emergence of the factory system from the previous artisan-based craft production.

  • Open Design Platforms for Open Source Product
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED15 27-30 JULY 2015, POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY OPEN DESIGN PLATFORMS FOR OPEN SOURCE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: CURRENT STATE AND REQUIREMENTS Bonvoisin, Jérémy (1); Boujut, Jean-François (2) 1: Technische Universität Berlin, Germany; 2: University Grenoble Alpes, France Abstract The spread of ICT and cheap low-size production tools like 3D-printers led to the development of open design, i.e. community-based and open source development of physical products. This innovative organization of product development offers a great opportunity for continuous improvement of products as well as formidable a potential for product innovation and incubation of new businesses. However, because of a limited availability of supporting methods and tools, open design projects are still unable to compete with today’s standards of industrial product design. The present article aims at providing a state of the art of existing online tools for open source product development and discusses their limitation regarding the challenges raised by what is identified as an emerging design paradigm. This is performed through the definition of an analysis grid through which existing tools have been scanned as well as a case study. It claims for further empirical research in order to describe the phenomenon from a design science perspective, to define appropriate categories and develop new specific online product data management tools.

  • The Politics of the Commons: Reform Or Revolt?
    tripleC 15(2): 563-581, 2017 http://www.triple-c.at The Politics of the Commons: Reform or Revolt? Vangelis Papadimitropoulos University of Crete, Greece, [email protected] Abstract: In this paper I present a critical overview of the contemporary political theories of the Commons, classified in three main categories: 1) the liberal 2) the reformist and 3) the anti-capitalist. Advocates of the liberal theory of the Commons take a stand in favour of the coexistence of the Commons with the state and the market. The reformists argue for the gradual adjustment of capitalism to the Commons with the aid of a partner state, while the anti-capitalists contrast both the liberals and the reformists by supporting the development of the commons against and beyond capitalism. I make the case that both the liberal and the anti-capitalist theorists miss the likelihood of technology rendering redundant large-scale production in the future, and forcing thus capitalism to adjust to the Commons in the long run. The prospect, therefore, of an open cooperativism, introduced by the reformist theory, holds significant potential with respect to the future development of the Commons. For the Commons to expand and flourish, however, a global institutional reform, based on a number of trans-local and transnational principles, is sine qua non. Hence, transparency of information, distribution of value, solidarity and bottom-up self-management are the core variables of individual and collective autonomy inasmuch as they permit a community or group to formulate its values in relation to the needs and skills of its members.

  • THE HOMEBREW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION by Kevin A
    THE HOMEBREW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION By Kevin A. Carson Center for a Stateless Society Paper No. 5 (September 2009) Neighborhood and Backyard Industry A recurring theme among early writers on decentralized production was the community workshop, and its use in particular for repair and recycling. Even in the 1970s, when the price of the smallest machine tools was much higher in real terms, it was feasible by means of cooperative organization to spread the capital outlay cost over a large pool of users. Kirkpatrick Sale speculated that neighborhood recycling and repair centers would put back into service the almost endless supply of defunct appliances currently sitting in closets or basements; as well as serving as "remanufacturing centers" for (say) diesel engines and refrigerators.1 Writing along similar lines, Colin Ward suggested “the pooling of equipment in a neighborhood group.” Suppose that each member of the group had a powerful and robust basic tool, while the group as a whole had, for example, a bench drill, lathes and a saw bench to relieve the members from the attempt to cope with work which required these machines with inadequate tools of their own, or wasting their resources on under- used individually-owned plant. This in turn demands some kind of building to house the machinery: the Community Workshop. But is the Community Workshop idea nothing more than an aspect of the leisure industry, a compensation for the tedium of work?2 In other words, is it just a “hobby”? Ward argued, to the contrary, that it would bridge the growing gap between the worlds of work and leisure by making productive activity in one's free time a source of real use-value.

  • Open-Design: a State of the Art Review
    Open-design: A state of the art review Étienne Boisseau1, Jean-François Omhover1 and Carole Bouchard1 1 Product Design and Innovation Laboratory, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, 75013 Paris, France Abstract The `open approach' is rooted in the open-source and free-software movements. Its application has spread to more fields than computer engineering. Product design is impacted as well: we observe new stakeholders and practices challenging current structured design processes and leading to industrial successes. Open-design appears to be promising yet disruptive. Moreover, its distinctive features remain unclear. This paper aims to popularize this new concept, as well as to give both researchers and practitioners an overview of current research on open-design, and its consequences on design. For this, we conducted a systematic quantitative bibliometric analysis of 624 entries corresponding to the keyword `open-design' in the Scopus database. This supports a qualitative synthesis of scientific literature, enabling us to summarize practices falling under the umbrella term `open-design'. As such, this paper traces the evolution of product design and the open approach. It also analyzes the impact of open-design on the design process as presented in the scientific literature. Finally, this paper develops a typology of open-design of tangible artifacts that distinguishes among three currently reported varieties of practice: do-it-yourself, meta-design, and industrial ecosystems. As the major contribution of this paper, this typology is developed as a final discussion. Key words: open-design, open source, product design, typology, systematic literature review 1. Introduction Received 5 October 2016 Revised 6 October 2017 The benefits of free/libre open-source software (F/LOSS) have been acknowledged Accepted 18 October 2017 for a long time in the industry.

  • At the Turning Point of the Current Techno-Economic Para
    tripleC 11(1): 173-190, 2013 http://www.triple-c.at At the Turning Point of the Current Techno-Economic Para- digm: Commons-Based Peer Production, Desktop Manufac- turing and the Role of Civil Society in the Perezian Frame- work Vasilis Kostakis Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia, [email protected], kostakis.org Abstract: Following the theory of techno-economic paradigm shifts (TEPS), this paper calls attention to the phenomenon of Commons-based peer production (CBPP). In the context of the current para- digm, it argues that civil society can play an important role in creating favourable conditions for a more sustainable global knowledge society. Approaching tentatively the ways in which 3D printing and other desktop manufacturing technologies can be used in CBPP, it also explores the ways in which the partnership with the state may provide a supportive innovative institutional basis for taking the maxi- mum advantage of the emerging synergies in the vein of TEPS theory. Keywords: Peer Production, 3D Printing, Techno-Economic Paradigm Shifts, Civil society, Commons, Heterodox Economics, Collaboration Acknowledgement: The research was supported by the grants SF 014006 “Challenges to State Modernization in 21st Century Europe” and ETF 8571 "Web 2.0 and Governance: Institutional and Normative Changes and Chal- lenges”. This paper has immensely benefited from two anonymous reviewers, however, all the fallacies and misin- terpretations remains this author's. This paper uses the theory of techno-economic paradigm shifts (TEPS) theory – gradually developed by Kondratieff (1979), Schumpeter (1982/1939; 1975/1942), Freeman (1974; 1996), and in particular Carlota Perez (1983; 1985; 1988; 2002; 2009a; 2009b) – as its framework to develop its narrative.
