Untangling the Timeline: Challenges and Opportunities in Supporting Version Control in Modern Computer-Aided Design

Version control is critical in mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) to enable traceability, manage product variation, and support collaboration. Yet, its implementation in modern CAD software as an essential information infrastructure for product development remains plagued by issues due to the complexity and interd…

"A Lot of Moving Parts": A Case Study of Open-Source Hardware Design Collaboration in the Thingiverse Community

Open-source is a decentralized and collaborative method of development that encourages open contribution from an extensive and undefined network of individuals. Although commonly associated with software development (OSS), the open-source model extends to hardware development, forming the basis of open-source hardware…

User Perspectives on Branching in Computer-Aided Design

Branching is a feature of distributed version control systems that facilitates the "divide and conquer" strategy present in complex and collaborative work domains. Branching has revolutionized modern software development and has the potential to similarly transform hardware product development via CAD (computer-aided…
