Open design and knowledge integration in semiotic manufacturing integration

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse Open Design from a perspective of knowledge integration in semiotic manufacturing integration. It proposes a framework for analysis based on the idea of distinguishing syntactical knowledge from semantic and pragmatic knowledge, as a conceptual tool to assess the issues involved. It reviews Free Software and Open Source Software as the origins of Open Design, and presents a brief survey of the current expression of Open Design in the Web. It analyses prospects for manufacturing integration set forth by Open Design at the inter-enterprise and market levels.

Towards a standard experimental protocol for open source additive manufacturing

“…In particular, material extrusion based units are widely used, thanks to the simplicity of operation, the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach and the open-support communities. It provides the possibility of mass diffusion of this technology, and consequently, AM is being recognised as a revolutionary technology that could up-end the last two centuries of approaches to design and manufacturing with profound geopolitical, economic, social, demographic, environmental and security implications (Garrido 2010, Campbell et al 2011, Economist 2012, Rifkin 2012, Birtchnell and Urry 2013, Pearce 2014.…”

Framing Open Design through Theoretical Concepts and Practical Applications: A Systematic Literature Review

“…These keywords are similar to pre-hacked (Richardson, 2016) and meta-models (Kyriakou et al, 2017). Open source software was used as a keyword to indicate the origins of open design, and the application of similar approaches in the physical realm (Garrido, 2010;Müller-Seitz & Reger, 2010;Raasch et al, 2009), indicating the potential of user-developers independently undertaking the development process and creating physical outcomes (Raasch, 2011).…”
