Hello all,
Has there been any attempt to start a Wikimedia project focusing on free 3D
models?
I think, right now it would be the right timing for it. The prices of 3D
printers and other computer controlled machines are coming down [1] and there
are growing network of FabLabs around the world providing access for public to
design and fabricate their own objects.[2]
I have contacts to the European Fablab folks and we probably could start with
them a project on an Incubator.
Best regards,
- Teemu

PS. FYI: We had a chat about this with Erik Möller in the Wikimania in Haifa -
So, this was probably his idea originally. This came in to my mind now when I
am involved in starting a FabLab in Helsinki.
