Traditional manufacturing often depends on centralized production and extensive transportation, leading to inefficiencies, high costs, and overproduction. In contrast, affordable digital tools now enable series production without traditional supply chains. Emerging from the maker and DIY movements, “distributed manufacturing” empowers consumers to use open-source technology to create designs locally.
H-Beam Shelf embraces this approach with a simple design and structure. Its materials are widely available and easy to process, allowing users to collaborate with local fablabs or adopt DIY methods to produce the shelves in an open-source framework.
