[hackerspaces] Free Open Design Library

The short term improvements we’re making to open designs include:

·        Using one license type across all designs so people know how they
can use it without having to read yet another license type file.

·        Providing source (CAD) files so anyone can edit and modify the
design.

·        Ensuring that designs are buildable, not just concepts.

·        Allow commercial use of designs and products.



Then there’s longer term improvements we’re making to the digital
fabrication process:

·        Having parametric models that allow variety in the product’s
dimension from a single design.

·        Streamlining the bulky process that exists today between CAD, CAM
and GCode.



While I understand the comparison to Thingiverse, it’s not wholly
accurate.  We are looking at the whole digital fabrication process, not
just cloud storage of design files.



Thanks

Alright, I'm gonna ask what seems obvious but nobody's saying it: Is this
intended as a "more pure" version of Thingiverse, basically minus the
Makerbot stink?

Hey folks



I’d like to introduce Obrary to this group.  At Obrary, we’re creating a
library of open designs.  You can see it at
http://obrary.com/collections/open-designs.  We currently focused on
designs that are made from a CNC Router or Laser Cutter.  Please browse our
library and download any designs that you are interested in making.  If you
do make one, please post a photo of it in the forums.  Also, please send me
an email if you would like to add a design of yours to the library.



Feedback welcome.



Thanks!
