As long as they're offering the models for free, probably cheaper for the end users at least.
i mean you still have to get them somehow, i doubt getting them shipped to you is going to be cheap and good luck getting the average person to figure out how any of this works in the first place
Not only the models are free but they are released under a Creative Commons license!
Meaning that anyone can modify and redistribute them.
I wonder if Norelco is thinking they can get new designs for free by seeing what people do. May even influence handle designs.
It's like having a design department that's 100x larger.
