We’re excited to announce another significant step forward in our commitment to open hardware: the release of the STEP file for our Librem 5 smartphone. This move builds upon our previous efforts, where we released the Librem 5 hardware layouts, which can be found here.
The release of the STEP file further underscores Purism’s dedication to transparency, user empowerment, and the principles of free and open-source hardware. By providing both the hardware layouts and now the STEP file, we’re enabling deeper understanding and potential modification of the Librem 5’s physical design.
A STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) file is a 3D model format widely used in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). By releasing this file, we’re providing detailed 3D design information about the Librem 5’s mechanical components.
While we’re thrilled to share this resource, it’s crucial to understand a few key points:
The release of the Librem 5 STEP file is just the beginning. We’re excited to see what our community will create with this new resource. Whether it’s custom accessories, replacement parts, or entirely new innovations, we believe this STEP forward will contribute to a more open, sustainable, and user-centric mobile ecosystem.
Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t hesitate to share your projects and ideas with the Purism community!
Note: Purism is exploring the possibility of obtaining Open Source Hardware (OSHW) certification following this release, further cementing our commitment to open hardware principles.
