OPEN RESOURCES
GOOD IDEAS GROW WHEN PEOPLE BUILD ON THEM. DISCOVER HOW OUR DESIGNS ARE MADE, THEN ADAPT THEM TO YOUR OWN MATERIALS, TOOLS AND PLACE.
INTERFACER
PLATFORM FOR REGENERATIVE DESIGN
PLATFORM FOR REGENERATIVE DESIGN
One place to explore the designs from our six Labs: their documentation, the objects made from them and how to reproduce or adapt them. Digital Product Passports record each product's materials and life cycle, to guide use, repair and reuse. Developed by the New Production Institute (HSU/NPI), building on Interfacer by Dyne.org.
OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
Physical objects whose design files and instructions are shared openly, so anyone can make, modify and repair them. A design can travel across regions and be adapted to local materials and skills, like the OpenLab Starter Kit or the OpenFlexure Microscope.
CODEBERG REPOSITORIES
The shared home for our software and design files. Pilot designers will add their files, instructions and lessons learned, so others can study them, suggest improvements and build on them.
MATERIAL INTELLIGENCE
Will it last? Can it be repaired or reused? Spot Material sets the technical properties of wood, metals, textiles, plastics and biobased materials beside their environmental impact, helping designers find the right local alternative. Free and paid access.
