"Open Manufacturing..."
summary
argues for open-sourcing the entire manufacturing pipeline from concept to production, not just STLs, demanding native CAD files plus BOMs, work instructions and injection molding tooling with cooling channels; cites Arduino and Blender for prototyping and GrabCAD/Thingiverse for parts but notes the gap—Thingiverse: 9,000 vs 60 injection-molding hits; gives a keyboard that reaches a public showcase but stalls on manufacturing ramp without released tooling files; flags Tesla’s patent publicity as incomplete since tooling and legal formats are not published.
