From Open Source Ecology's perspective, 2016 marks a turning point in the history of open source hardware development, when collaborative mechanical design CAD tools became refined to the point of usability in advanced mechanical design. Specifically, FreeCAD v0.16 has been released as a practical solution for 3D design. OSE has developed a Merge Workflow which relies on many people collaborating on Part Libraries generated in FreeCAD.
This turning point is comparable in importance to:
- 2010 - invention of realtime, cloud, collaborative documents for text and graphics
- 2000 - invention of the wiki
