Description

"Given current and emerging technology, what would production look like if we reconfigured it from scratch? We believe the answer lies in sustainable, globally networked, local manufacturing. Join us and be part of the future of manufacturing"

...

We are a global alliance of people and organizations who believe in a future of production defined by decentralized manufacturing and shared knowledge. We are building a foundation to enable this future, a world where people can quickly create and fabricate products made from a combination of locally sourced materials and global designs.

Groups currently represented in this community cover hardware design, design sharing platforms, manufacturers and manufacturing associations, maker and fab lab communities, assistive technology, disaster relief, international development, and open science hardware.

The Internet of Production Alliance is driven by its team, council, working groups & task forces."

Status

"The Internet of Production Alliance (IoPA) is working to establish five families of open data standards that form the open digital infrastructures needed for the foundations of an Open Hardware ecosystem. Together, these five families of standards cover the essential ingredients needed to make anything:

1. Designs & Documentation;

2. Machines & Tools;

3. People & Skills;

4. Materials & Components;

5. Contracts & Business Models."
