Availability, sustainability, and functionality pose particular challenges for the value chain of individual mobility. Therefore, in this work, the typical value chain is broken up and the traditional approaches are extended with an open-source perspective. The focus is on modularity and simplicity in order to enable the broadest possible applicability and fast implementation of local production. Nevertheless, the mobility concept should meet the current standards, especially with regard to safety. A modular vehicle frame is presented as a basis, which meets all regulations, can be built in self-assembly, and is available as open-source.

During deep drawing process compressive stresses are induced in the sheet metal, which can cause undesirable wrinkling. On the other hand a high sheet thickness and high local surface curvature counteract the wrinkling tendency by stabilizing the blank. To investigate these factors influencing the wrinkling initiation experimentally, a modified and the requirements customized test form based on a simple test geometry, the so called Yoshida buckling test, is created. This enables to take into account surface curvature in the region of instability.
