Howdy –
element14 is sponsoring the Open Hardware Summit next week in NYC:
One great example of an Open Source Hardware company is MakerBot Industries which sells an affordable 3-D printer kit which has brought desktop manufacturing to the masses. (All the circuit boards were designed with CadSoft EAGLE!)
New York Times has a recent article on the power of 3-D printing which is a good read:
3-D Printing Spurs a Manufacturing Revolution
Anyone on element14 own or use a 3-D printer?
Cheers,
Drew
