COVID-19疫情深刻影响日常生活的各个方面,尤其是必需品的供求,导致严重短缺。这包括为医务专业人员和公众提供个人防护设备。为了解决这些短缺问题,出现了在线“制造商社区”,旨在开发和本地制造关键产品。虽然存在一些有组织的努力,但大多数倡议来自Thingiverse等平台上的个人和团体。本文对最大的创客社区网站之一Thingiverse进行了纵向分析,以研究疫情的影响。我们的研究结果显示,在主要贡献国(主要是西半球的国家)的最初封锁期间,社区产出激增,随后下降。此外,在整个2020年,流行病相关产品在此期间主导了上传和互动。根据这些观察,我们提出建议,以加快社区的能力,以支持地方,国家和国际应对未来的灾害。
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected various aspects of daily life, particularly the supply and demand of essential goods, resulting in critical shortages. This included personal protective equipment for medical professionals and the general public. To address these shortages, online ‘maker communities’ emerged, aiming to develop and locally manufacture critical products. While some organized efforts existed, the majority of initiatives originated from individuals and groups on platforms like Thingiverse. This paper presents a longitudinal analysis of Thingiverse, one of the largest maker community websites, to examine the pandemic’s effects. Our findings reveal a surge in community output during the initial lockdown periods in major contributing nations (primarily those in the Western Hemisphere), followed by a subsequent decline. Additionally, throughout 2020, pandemic-related products dominated uploads and interactions during this period. Based on these observations, we propose recommendations to expedite the community’s ability to support local, national and international responses to future disasters.
