Abstract
In the recent years, maker movement is well known around the world, especially in the areas of entertainment, design, business, and education. Makers are innovative pioneers dedicated to finding the overlap between DIY projects, technology, and community. The science and technology has revolutionized creative industries by providing open source tools and platforms that allow makers, designers and entrepreneurs to become more independent in terms of production and rapid development to create innovative ideas in the absence of resources. This research is based on a case study of the users in the co-creation platform, Thingiverse. Exploring what is the reason that the maker community mostly designing with digital manufacturing, will aggressively share their digital manufacturing rights on a community platform which developed by a company. Also, discussing what way is the platform attracting creative makers to share their creation, and to increase the content, website traffic, interaction and the exposure of the platform. Due to the study, the researcher found that the sharing motivation of the maker community and the way provided by the co-creation platform are effected by the time that maker involved and the initial and advanced method, and the relationship between them shows a inverse normal distribution. This curve is an important reference to the future academic research, or practical application.
