To be useful to anyone designs need to turned into physical objects which isn't quite as straightforward as building or copying software which involves compiling software from source-code or downloading executable files over the internet.

Building, testing and modifying physical designs requires effort, time and material cost, although with access to emerging flexible computer-controlled manufacturing techniques the complexity and effort can be significantly reduced.

Here are some of the ways that collaborative designs created on a computer can be physically created:
