Industrialisation and sustainability



                     Not mass production, but
                     production by the masses
Production by the masses
Do it yourself

  Hardware (Tangible material)
Production by the masses
Do it yourself
A well-installed community in USA and in
the world through magazines, blogs, faires.

Based on an ethic of self-sufficiency, to the
idea that ones can make anything he wants
on itself.

Knowledge-sharing oriented community
Production by the masses
Fabrication Laboratory (Fablab)


Iniciated by MIT, it has borned in the idea of
equiping a space with the tools to do “almost
anything”

Tools that go from manual tools to 3D printers

International Network
Production by the masses
Open Source Hardware

 “Open Source Hardware (OSHW) is a term for
 tangible artifacts -- machines, devices, or other
 physical things -- whose design has been
 released to the public in such a way that
 anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use
 those things.“

Sharing knowledge
A better sharing of
knowledge


Founded by EF Schumacher in 1996
Mission: To contribute to poor people’s wellbeing, using
  technology to challenge poverty by:

  - Building the capabilities of poor men and women,
  - Improving their access to technical options and knowledge,
  - And working with them to influence social, economic and
  institutional systems for innovation and the use of technology.
A better sharing of
knowledge

A better sharing of
knowledge

Through sharing of technology knowledge :

Help Global South to tackle poverty with an
  access to appropriate technology
Lead Global North from an industrialized
  economy to an artisan sustainable production
  system

Through sharing of technology knowledge :

Not more high-technology, but a better distribution of simple and
  sustainable technologies


« Not mass production, but production by the masses »


By sharing knowledge, tackle poverty in Global South and reach
  an artisan economy in Global North
