      abstract = {"Drawing on empirical insights from the field of desktop  3D printing, this book elaborates the concept of innovation  communities as a pattern of open and distributed  innovation. As these communities spur a fruitful exchange  of explorative, open source knowledge, they represent a  novel mode of “doing innovation”, which considerably  differs from established practices in market and business  realms. Hence, the people that participate in these  collective endeavors often develop entrepreneurial  ambitions and start to exploit community-based innovations  commercially. The book presents deep insights on the  institutional idiosyncrasies of innovation communities, the  associated dilemma of entrepreneurship and the strategies  of 3D-printing startups to face the corresponding  challenges."--},
