makerscale
Makerscale is a term used in maker culture to describe a framework for scaling hardware projects from individual prototypes to small production runs. It emphasizes bridging the gap between fast, iterative development and repeatable manufacturing, while maintaining accessibility for hobbyists and small teams. Although not a formal standard, makerscale has emerged in communities that value open design, modularity, and cost-aware decision making.
Key principles include modular design with well-defined interfaces, documentation and versioning, and the use of scalable
