OpenDesk:家具開源圖紙DIY訂購平臺是一家通過家具圖紙來自定義家居訂購的網站，OpenDesk 不僅可以讓用戶自己下載圖樣制作，還能讓擁有數(shù)控機床的制作廠協(xié)助制作部件，最后由自己進行裝配。
OpenDesk 由Joni & David Steiner兩兄弟與 Development 00 聯(lián)手創(chuàng)辦，是首個與FabHub網站兼容的項目，后者可讓用戶搜索附近地區(qū)的制造商。你還能通過ShopBot找到某人為你切割部件然后送到你的住所或者辦公室。
開源的設計圖紙可免費以.dwg 和.dxf 等數(shù)控機床能識別的格式進行下載。你還可以下載開源家具的 PDF 說明文件，嘗試自己動手去做家具。目前該網站上有不少設計精良，造型不錯的桌子、凳子等家具的設計模型供用戶免費下載。在下載前，用戶還能查看到設計師以及該模型的 3D 示例圖等相關信息。在用戶順利制作出滿意的家具后，還能在其社區(qū)與其他用戶分享制作過程中遇到的事情。
OpenDesk is about local making. What's available to you — what you can make and what you can have made — depends on where you are and how much you want to get involved in the making process.
All the OpenDesk designs are available as digital downloads. These digital files are fed into a CNC machine, which produces raw sawn pieces of wood. These are finished by hand, a process that can involve oiling, sanding, polishing and small parts. The finished pieces can then be assembled by hand on location.
How much of this process you want to do is entirely up to you. If you're a professional maker with, or with access to, materials and a CNC machine, you can download and make the product from scratch yourself. If you're comfortable working with raw wood and have the necessary equipment and small parts (like glue and screws of castors), you can buy OpenDesks in "Sawn" form and finish them yourself.
If you're not a carpenter but you can assemble furniture yourself, you can buy "Flatpack", IKEA style. This means that the wood has been fully finished (oiled, sanded, polished, etc.) and packaged up with any necessary parts and instructions. Alternatively, if you're not comfortable assembling or if it all just sounds like too much work, you can simply buy "Assembled" and sit back and have a professional maker do everything for you.
The more work you do, the lower the cost will be. Plus, in many areas, you may be forced to buy flat-packed or arrange the making yourself if we haven't yet found makers who can deliver or assemble to your location.
