Making Innovation: Open hardware, Personal Fab and Collaborative Design
MAKE's Hardware Innovation Workshop takes place May 15-16, at PARC in Palo Alto. The Workshop is a one-and-a-half day intensive introduction to the business of making and the makers who are creating these businesses.

- Open source hardware and software are providing standardized components on which to build new applications.
- New fabrication tools are creating a rapid-prototyping revolution that makes iteration cheaper, faster, and easier.
- Collaborative design practices are using new tools and tapping new kinds of expertise.
- Options for manufacturing at scale are improving, as more and more of the process becomes automated.
- Crowdfunding is helping launch new projects and providing funding to test out new product ideas.
- Traditional investors are wary of hardware, but hardware-focused incubators hope to soften resistance by helping hardware startups become better prepared for investors.
