Supported by the Rackham Graduate Research Grant
Open Framework is a digital design tool used to make low-cost, easy-to-assemble spaceframe structures without a need for infrastructural fabrication facilities.
Designed to the strengths of consumer-grade digital fabrication devices (3D Printers) Open frame enables everyday users (Students, Researchers, Designers, Practitioners, etc.) to leverage available means to realize designs at scale. Rather than relying on specialized facilities, expensive machines, and gatekept knowledge bases, Open Framework democratizes the process of making.
