OD&M project – Erasmus + 2016 KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE
DID is at the forefront of innovation in the interiors and furnishings sector, actively participating in European projects that aim to redefine the future of design and production. In collaboration with a network of international partners, DID develops cutting-edge tools, innovative methods, and training profiles geared towards boosting competitiveness and creating increasingly efficient and sustainable production structures.
DID’s mission is to stimulate innovation through international collaboration, embracing paradigms like Open Design & Manufacturing to generate a positive impact on social good. We firmly believe that knowledge sharing and a collaborative approach are key to unlocking new value chains and addressing the challenges of the global market.
The OD&M Project: Open Design & Manufacturing for Social Innovation
An emblematic example of DID’s commitment is the OD&M – Erasmus + 2016 KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE project. This revolutionary project aims to support and develop communities of practice around the Open Design & Manufacturing paradigm.
OD&M maximizes the principles of openness, sharing, and collaboration to build an ecosystem where innovation in design and production is oriented not only towards profit but, above all, towards social good. Through the joint creation of knowledge and the application of open design practices, OD&M is helping to shape a future where production is more inclusive, sustainable, and accessible.
The Open Design & Manufacturing approach is based on the idea that knowledge and resources should be open and shareable. This allows for:
- Innovation Acceleration: Sharing ideas and prototypes leads to faster and more effective solutions.
- Cost Reduction: Access to open resources can decrease research and development expenses.
- Greater Inclusion: It allows a broader range of people to participate in the creative and productive process.
- Sustainability: It fosters the creation of modular and repairable products, reducing waste.
- Social Impact: It directs production towards solutions that meet real community needs.
DID is proud to be part of this vision, actively contributing to projects that not only enhance sector competitiveness but also make it more responsible and future-oriented.
