Open Product Realization is a new paradigm of product design and manufacturing where distributed consumers and suppliers actively participate and collaborate in the process of design, fabrication and value creation. This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project aims to develop scientific principles and methods for designing cyber manufacturing systems in support of open product realization through personalization involving user-in-the-loop design, responsive manufacturing, and distributed assembly. Personalized products will bring added value to the consumers because of the improved usability and functionality. Personalization also has the potential to transform the design and manufacture of consumer products by changing the design goal from focusing on the product to focusing on the customer. In turn, manufacturers will embrace the paradigm of open architecture products and personalization, enabling a new culture of open collaboration and innovation. Entrepreneurs will be attracted to such a paradigm because it provides a new platform for innovation. New companies will be created to participate in the design of innovative modules and products to enhance product functionality. Therefore, this project will have the potential to significantly impact the U.S. economy and society as a whole. Cyber-manufacturing algorithms and technologies will be developed to enable personalized design under assembly constraints, and rapid fabrication and assembly methods for product co-creation. More natural interfaces using tablets and cloud-based computing will be created to support personalized design and manufacturing. The research tasks are: (1) "Art-to-part" cyber platforms enabling the customer to create, manipulate, and modify virtual shapes in a straightforward manner, and visualize the final product after assembly; (2) Process planning and quality control tools for rapid manufacturing of personalized modules using additive manufacturing; and (3) Integration of individual tools and system-level validation with a distributed test bed approach to realize an industrial-scale system. Students will learn, collaborate and innovate by participating in the research as "customers", designers, and manufacturers.

开放产品实现是产品设计和制造的新范式，分布式消费者和供应商在设计、制造和价值创造过程中积极参与和协作。这个早期概念探索性研究资助 (EAGER) 项目旨在开发设计网络制造系统的科学原理和方法，通过涉及用户在环设计、响应式制造和分布式组装的个性化支持开放产品实现。由于可用性和功能性的提高，个性化产品将为消费者带来附加值。个性化还有可能通过将设计目标从关注产品转变为关注客户来改变消费产品的设计和制造。反过来，制造商将接受开放架构产品和个性化的范例，从而形成开放协作和创新的新文化。企业家会被这样的范式所吸引，因为它提供了一个新的创新平台。将创建新公司参与创新模块和产品的设计，以增强产品功能。因此，该项目将有可能对美国经济和整个社会产生重大影响。 将开发网络制造算法和技术，以实现装配约束下的个性化设计，以及用于产品共同创造的快速制造和装配方法。将使用平板电脑和基于云的计算创建更自然的界面，以支持个性化设计和制造。研究任务是：（1）“艺术到零件”网络平台，使客户能够以简单的方式创建、操作和修改虚拟形状，并可视化组装后的最终产品； （2）利用增材制造快速制造个性化模块的工艺规划和质量控制工具； (3) 将单个工具和系统级验证与分布式测试床方法相集成，以实现工业规模的系统。学生将通过以“客户”、设计师和制造商的身份参与研究来学习、协作和创新。
