“…2. The feed unit described in [2] and [4] is an adaptronic system built out of a compliant mechanism with flexure hinges and two piezo stack actuators. The very accurate but small movement of the piezo stacks is transmitted by the mechanism which can be seen as a bell-crank lever.…”

Since micro products have become smaller, the requirements concerning precision and accuracy for producing machine tools to manufacture such small parts increased. Consequently, each component of a machine tool needs to conform to these requirements. A flexure-based feed unit, a clamping system and mechanical couplings are briefly presented. These components can quickly be reconfigured, which allows for a new modular micro machine tool system. Each component incorporates individual precision and accuracy leading to an overall error budget for a machine tool system. This is methodically addressed in the contribution.

“…Third, based on the development of new business models (e.g. Local Motors) their production becomes profitable and competitively viable [8,17,19]. Consequently, the paradigm shift based on the new ICTs and manufacturing technologies leads to empowered customers and enabled prosumers, which fosters social sustainability.…”

“…Examples for Open Source Hardware in the field of rapid prototyping are RepRap (http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page) and Fab@home (http://www.fabathome.org/), which both offer information and knowledge to create digital fabricators [3,4]. Square foot manufacturing is another technological development in the field of production systems, which enables mobile production sites on the basis of a square foot factory (SFF) [18,19]. Square foot manufacturing (SFM) is known as an advancement of desktop manufacturing.…”

Open Production: Chances for Social Sustainability in Manufacturing

The participation of spatially distributed individuals in the whole production cycle is feasible through the transnational possibilities of information, communication, and production technologies. To a much greater extent than ever before value creation is generated through the use of knowledge. Open Production is a concept which enables companies to apply the criterion of openness to the whole value creation process. These new patterns of value creation (bottom-up-economics) enable the realization of small firms, which combine the three production factors -labor, ground and capital -in one stakeholder. This article addresses the social aspect of sustainability and gives an overview on the chances of micro-factories to foster social sustainability in manufacturing and redirect development efforts towards a collaboration-oriented rather than a growth-oriented approach.
