I’ve taken part in a class of Open Collaboration and Peer production, exploring what open source means in theoretical sense and engaging in practical exploration and engagement of open source projects. As part of the course, we did try to develop a common report of our experiences, including a survey and analysis of our experiences. In the spirit of open collaboration, we developed the survey together and are now engaged the writing of the report.

Through the case of the RepRap-based, Lego-built three-dimensional (3D) printing-milling machine, this paper sets out to discuss and illustrate two points: First, on a theoretical level, that modularity, not only in terms of development process but also of hardware components, can catalyze Commons-based peer production’s (CBPP) replication for tangible products enabling social experimentation and learning. Second, the hybrid 3D printing-milling machine demonstrates the digitization of material and the potential of digital fabrication. We show how the synergy of a globally accessible knowledge Commons as well as of the CBPP practices with digital fabrication technologies, which are advancing and becoming more and more accessible, can arguably offer the ability to think globally and produce locally.
