Welcome to the Opendesk Community Forum!

Opendesk is a global platform for local making based around workspace furniture. It has a collection of open (i.e.: creative commons licensed) furniture that's designed to be downloaded and made with a CNC machine. You can download and print the designs yourself, or have them made for you by a local maker.

This group is the official forum to discuss Opendesk designs and their manufacture. Everyone is welcome to join -- no matter whether you're a professional, or whether you're new to CNC making altogether. Please get involved and ask questions, offer support, and / or suggest ideas for further development.
