This document discusses experimenting with open source business models for hardware and physical products. It proposes using design methods to help manufacturing companies develop new open source-based business models. An 8-week design sprint would involve companies and experts developing profitable open source models for new markets, value chains, and economies. The goal is strategic knowledge and draft strategies for open source hardware, as well as a "Remodel Toolkit" to share learnings. Benefits mentioned include involving users, hyper-innovation, and scale through community collaboration.

whose design is made publicly available
so that anyone can study, modify,
distribute, make, and sell the design
or hardware based on that design.
