The future of rocket design will be crowdsourced thanks to Sunglass & DIYRockets | VentureBeat | Science | by Ricardo Bilton

▤ Summary

3D modeling platform Sunglass is teaming up with space company DIYRockets to design the first wave of crowd-designed rockets. Via their new design competition, the companies are offering $10,000 to teams who can collaborate to create the best, cheapest rocket parts. “Once you create a community around this stuff, you start changing how the rest of the industry works,” she said. The project is also big news for Sunglass as it shows just how far the company’s collaborative design platform can go. “We already have thousands of private projects running on our platform right now, but this represents the opportunity to take things to a much higher level,”Sunglass co-founder Nitin Rao said.
