to manufacture the bike, customers can obtain the drawings from a devoted web site designed by happyending studio. they’ll then take the drawings to their native digital fabrication workshop (fablab) and CNC reduce the physique of the bicycle from domestically out there plywood and make the most of 3D printing for parts such because the saddle, entrance hub and hand grips. these elements is also recycled from previous bikes.
the fabrication recordsdata for openbike are licensed below artistic commons 4.0, permitting the designs to be improved, modified, manufactured, and shared once more by anybody internationally. based mostly on these ideas of open design, arquimaña encourages additional improvement and design based mostly on the usage of native sources however with world methods and instruments tailored to the traits of a selected place.
