The Future of Manufacturing: Platforms and Distributed Fabrication

The Future of Manufacturing: Platforms and Distributed Fabrication | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
I wrote this post earlier on in November, in preparation of my speech at second Shenzhen (China) International Industrial Design Fair, where I was asked to talk about the role of Openness and Platforms in the Manufacturing industry, in the so called age of Makers. China looks an increasingly exciting place-to-be for those interested in re-thinking manufacturing. 30 years of optimizations left there a strong, reconfigurable, efficient and collaborative manufacturing  ecosystem that looks an ideal place to experiment in open manufacturing as many are already doing. It will also depends on politics obviously, but I think China has a chance for a leadership in this shift. The post follows after the slideshare embed. Will help you understand much more of the presentation. This post, partially amended, first appeared in Italian on CheFuturo.
