Dora Goodman Cameras is an open source camera company in Budapest, Hungary founded by Dora Goodman.[1][2] It uses 3D printing to produce open source 35mm, medium format and large format system cameras.[3] The company sells its cameras through an online shop, as a DIY kit and fully assembled.[4][5] It was created in 2016 to personalise and customise analogue cameras. It then began making cameras from wood before switching to 3D printing to meet demand.[6][7]

Most of the company's designs are open source, with most files available free to download but some available only to Patreon supporters.[8] The company encourages its customers to modify their cameras and share the designs with the community.[9]
