The open source software movement has had an enormous impact on today’s techonology. We see this more and more in recent years. It has aided academic research, it has changed the way many tech companies do business, and it has changed our society. More recently (though not for the first time), the idea of

Kurzfassung Die interaktive Wertschöpfung und spezieller das Phänomen Open Innovation erfahren seit einigen Jahren stetig wachsende Aufmerksamkeit. Zum Thema Open Source Hardware, einem Teilbereich der Open Innovation, liegt dennoch nur wenig wissenschaftlich fundiertes Material vor. Grundlegende Charakteristika, wie z.B. Community-Beteiligung und Aufgabe von geistigem Eigentum, können bereits als technologischer und gesellschaftlicher Rahmen des Phänomens identifiziert werden. Durch den massiven Zugriff auf externe Problemlösungskompetenz und die verminderte Kapitalbindung im Produktionsbereich können Open Source Hardware-Unternehmen heute branchenspezifische Vorteile nutzen, die den traditionellen Fertigungsbetrieben vorenthalten bleiben. Dieser Beitrag wird die bedeutendsten Charakteristika systematisch aufarbeiten und, auf Basis der Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Unternehmensbefragung, die entstehenden Möglichkeiten für das Unternehmensmanagement und die Gestaltung moderner Produktionssysteme darstellen.

Compared to software, the open source approach is relatively new to most actors in the field of (mechanical) hardware. Plus Open Source Hardware faces some special issues. A yet missing definition of its "source code" is one of them (+ patent law, liability, engineers that do not know how to work with git, costly prototyping…). DIN SPEC 3105 will be/is the first official standard for Open Source Hardware and also the first official standard ever published under a free license (CC-BY-SA 4.0; that was a lot of lobby work ;) ). It defines the technology-specific "source" of Open Source Hardware and aims to build a bridge between research institutes, public authority, industry and the worldwide open source community. In this talk I won't explain why Open Source (Hardware) is great. I assume, you all know that (if not, still feel free to ask me in the Q&A part or after the talk). I'll describe what's the standard for, how it works and why its great _for_ Open Source Hardware.

The ability to commercialise products based on distributed innovation is one of the critical challenges of large-scale open innovation. While this issue has been largely investigated in relation to open-source software (OSS), the literature on strategies of commercialisation of open-source hardware (OSHW) is comparatively scarce, despite OSHW commercialisation being more complex. Based on a multi-method exploratory study, combining interviews and a netnography within the RepRap project, this research shows that in the case of OSHW firms may strategically leverage a ‘grey area’ between closeness and openness to take advantage of OSWH community innovations.

Am 24. und 25. November 2025 lädt Chemnitz zur zweiten Open Source Hardware Konferenz ein. Die Veranstaltung bringt Fachleute aus Forschung, Industrie, offenen Werkstätten und der Maker-Community zusammen, um aktuelle Entwicklungen, Chancen und Herausforderungen im Bereich Open Source Hardware (OSH) zu diskutieren. Die Konferenz ist Teil des Projekts oSHOP – Open Source Hardware Innovation Platform, das vom Fraunhofer IWU gemeinsam mit der TU Dresden, der HTW Dresden und weiteren Partnern durchgeführt wird. Ziel des Projekts ist es, Open-Source-Prinzipien in die Entwicklung physischer Produkte zu übertragen und damit neue Wege für Innovation und Zusammenarbeit im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau zu eröffnen. Durch die Bereitstellung offener Baupläne, gemeinsamer Infrastrukturen und neuer Transferkonzepte soll ein Ökosystem entstehen, das Unternehmen, Forschungseinrichtungen und Maker vernetzt. Das Projekt wird im Rahmen der T!Raum-Initiative des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung gefördert.

Online talk given at OpenFest 2023: Online symposium ‘New Perspectives on Open Research’ on 7 September 2023 organised by the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. Forked from an earlier talk on the same topic. <strong>Abstract</strong> Physical hardware underpins much of scientific research. From computing devices, instrumentation, and biological reagents, to satellites in orbit, researchers rely on hardware to explore and understand the world. However, research equipment is typically closed source (i.e. proprietary), whose designs are legally restricted, preventing others from studying, building, or modifying them. These restrictions cause several problems such as: lack of reproducibility; duplication of effort; forced obsolescence; and higher costs, all of which reinforce global inequities.<br> Building on the success of open source software, open source hardware is defined as any physical artefact whose “design is made publicly available with explicit, legally binding freedoms for anyone to study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design”. In 2021, it was formally recognised as a key component in the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. Open science hardware (i.e. open source hardware in scientific contexts) provides many benefits compared to its proprietary predecessors. These can include cost savings of up to 87% proportional to how often it is replicated (Pearce, 2020); quicker iteration of designs; and adaptation to local needs in underserved communities.<br> Since the 2010s, open science hardware has been developed and used in diverse domains from environmental monitoring, lab automation, to microscopy. In addition to academics, open science hardware is commonly built by citizen science communities and adapted for different purposes. Other practitioners of open science hardware include educators, social innovators, or artists.<br> In this talk, we will provide an overview of the above and provide successful examples of open source hardware projects that enable better science. The talk will also highlight international communities working towards the adoption of open source hardware in science, such as the Gathering for Open Science Hardware. <strong>CRediT contributor roles</strong> Pen-Yuan Hsing - Conceptualization; Visualization; Writing (original draft); Writing (review & editing) Brianna Johns - Conceptualization; Resources

We present the first open source hardware (OSH) design and build of a physical robotic automated guitar player. Users’ own instruments being different shapes and sizes, the system is designed to be used and/or modified to physically attach to a wide range of instruments. Design objectives include ease and low cost of build. Automation is split into three modules: the left-hand fretting, right-hand string picking, and right hand palm muting. Automation is performed using cheap electric linear solenoids. Software APIs are designed and implemented for both low level actuator control and high level music performance.
