The best inventions should belong to everyone. The Open-Source Invention Commons is building a freely accessible library of inventions, designs, and innovations that anyone can use, improve, and share. From 3D-printable prosthetics to open-source water pumps, from free agricultural tools to medical devices — this challenge connects engineers, designers, makers, and documenters to build the public domain of human ingenuity.
Designing and documenting freely available physical inventions.
Designing affordable, customizable prosthetic devices that can be 3D-printed anywhere.
Creating standards and tools for documenting open inventions clearly.
Standardized templates that make it easy to document any open-source invention.
