Chris Hardy's Illuminated Inspiration. Chris Hardy's Paper Pendant Lamp is a beautifully simple design that proves that you do not need to have 'an impossible design' that could not be made with any process other than 3D printing for 3D printing to be a valid method of manufacture.
What the design proves is that an independent designer can get a unique product to market without investing in the usual 'minimum order quantities' or losing his IP to a manufacturer. The Shapeways business model allows is for the designer, Chris, to maintain full control over his product, the price point and his profit margin without it being dictated as only 5% by a third party, or having to amortize an investment across multiple units.
Chris is an example of a professional designer using Shapeways as his finance department, manufacturer and distributor and this is why he will be one of the Shapeways community members who will be representing us this year at ICFF in NYC. In Chris's own words: Apple newsstand e webapps. I giornali sono applicazioni, suggerivano le scelte della piattaforma iPad di un anno fa. I giornali sono (anche) sistemi che organizzano le informazioni, sicché assomigliano a applicazioni. Da quel momento si poteva andare nella direzione di costruire oggetti nuovi, fatti di nuovo software, design e informazione. Oppure si poteva replicare più o meno bene la struttura dei giornali tradizionali. Il bivio è sempre aperto, come dimostrano le notizie dei giorni scorsi: 2. Il newsstand è un sistema per vendere giornali di forma tradizionale con un miglioramento decisivo: grazie a iCloud i giornali si caricano sui terminali quando vengono pubblicati e i lettori se li ritrovano pronti da leggere quando aprono i device.
Anche perché da tempo chi investe in software per le apps editoriali sa che si dovrebbe trovare il modo di far girare quel software su tutte le piattaforme tablet, non solo sull’iPad. Jungo : la risposta agile alla mobilità. How One Software Company Turned Freemium into Philanthropy. Do freemium business models actually work? The answer is yes for one software company, where freemium served as a perfect way to grow its business and donate more than $1 million to charity at the same time. Atlassian recently announced a donation of $1 million to Room to Read, a global non-profit aimed at improving literacy and gender equality education in developing countries. They did this through their "Causium" campaign, a twist — and portmanteau — of "freemium" and "cause marketing. " The name fits: Rather than just give away its products for free, Atlassian charged a minimal amount of money and donated all proceeds to the non-profit. Freemium runs on the premise that if you give away a curtailed version of your product, your fans will enjoy it enough to then upgrade to a paid subscription.
Causium, for all intents and purposes, is freemium in the sense that Atlassian doesn't receive any money from the heavily discounted sales. What's your opinion of mixing freemium with charity?
