Mathilde at Making Society offers a great recap on open hardware business models here in this post.

Is really worth a read as it also builds on top of recently presented works at the Open Hardware Summit in Rome.

A major question for open source hardware is about its business models. How can you create a sustainable business out of a hardware product that is non-patented and that anyone can reproduce and sell?

This article is here to give you revenue streams ideas for your open source hardware business and a tool to define your own business model.

SparkFun, Adafruit, Arduino, Olimex, DIY Drones, LulzBot, Pinoccio… Successful open hardware companies are showing the way.
