In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits
,----[ Quote ]
| The door of a dry-cleaner-size storefront in
| an industrial park in Wareham, Massachusetts,
| an hour south of Boston, might not look like a
| portal to the future of American
| manufacturing, but it is. This is the
| headquarters of Local Motors, the first open
| source car company to reach production. Step
| inside and the office reveals itself as a
| mind-blowing example of the power of micro-
| factories.

The Replicator, No Longer a Star Trek Dream
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-sourcing is also helping further the
| development of the RepRap project. Bowyer
| explained that he wanted a powerful technology
| like the RepRap to be available to everyone,
| so he made it free. A list of materials needed
| for a RepRap and the instructions on how to
| put it together are all available on the
| RepRap website.

RepRap, the replicating machine: The Free and Open Source Factory on the Desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| RepRap (replicating Rapid-prototyper) is a 3D
| printer and it is impeccably free and open
| source under both the GPL and the Creative
| Commons Licence. Itâs early days but the
| implications and the promise are potentially
| enormous in their own right â but the fact
| that it is resolutely not proprietary is what
| caught my attention.
