So far, you may have heard of open source software, open source hardware, open source video games and open source page ... but you don't have to hear an open source car.
The family of Tin Hang Liu has been fighting in the automotive industry since the father's life, but he has already tired of this 100-year industry lack of innovative closure business model. Once I have exposed to several open source hardware developers, he flicked and felt that open source cars would have a lot of potential.
In order to bridge the gap between the automotive industry and the open source product development concept, Tin spent 8 years to organize a team of engineers and designers to develop an open source car. The development team called OSVEHICLE.
Today, Osvehicle is being considered to be an end of the Millennium generation, which is far from the old man, driving, and choosing one of other (more economical) possibilities. To date, this open source automotive design platform has received open source requests from more than 80 countries and hundreds of projects.
Currently, the company hopes to transplant the open source software to the interconnected car, but before, their focus focused on manufacturing a open source 3D printed car chassis Tabby.
Tabby is the first component on their open source automobile platform, which is designed to be an open source, modular universal chassis design, so that designers, engineers, amateur enthusiasts, etc., to transform them into any type of vehicle on this basis. .
In addition, Tabby is also very convenient and does not require large production facilities. According to Tianxian, if all parts have been printed with 3D, a chassis can be assembled for no more than 45 minutes, and can be done in one room instead of a complete scale production workshop. In addition, if all parts have been printed, Tabby can transport in a partial manner, and then assemble it locally.
Understand that everyone can use 3D printers or know how to assemble a car chassis that can be built, Osvehicle provides an open source solution for those who are willing to create a car with a help of others or in others.
"In fact, according to the normal DIY process, you can download 3D files, buy the kit, and work independently." They claimed on their website. "In DIY mode, customers can establish contact with experienced OSV teams and get their support from any part of the prototype design to production."
Whether you just want to browse 3D models or want to make your own 3D print car, Osvehicle provides all the necessary downloadable files to start from their website.
