Engineering and Technology

Engineering and Technology

Free content principles have been translated into fields such as Engineering, where designs and engineering knowledge can be readily shared and duplicated, in order to reduce overheads associated with project development. Open design principles can be applied in engineering and technological applications, with projects in mobile telephony, small scale manufacture, automotive and even agricultural areas.

Technologies, such as distributed manufacturing can allow CAM and CAD techniques to be able to develop small scale production of components for the development new or repair of existing devices. Rapid fabrication technologies underpin these developments, which allow end users of technology to be able to construct devices from pre-existing blueprints, using software and manufacturing hardware to convert information into physical objects.
