A Manifesto for Global Design and Local Production
- Fab Lab Made products include daily used objects, as well as art and design
- All labour involved in their production is fairly compensated
- Fab Lab Made products favour re-used, upcycled and local materials
- Shared designs with open source licences keep their value over time and should be preferred
- Designers and collaborators are fairly compensated for each product sold, even if their design is open
- Fab Lab Made products are not harmful, dangerous or illegal
- Fab Labs with the standard setup are able to produce most products
- Production is mainly targeted at local markets, long distance shipping is avoided as it hurts the planet
- Competition between labs shouldn’t exist as we are all part of the same global community
- The Fab Lab made label only aim is the sustainability of the global fab lab network and its members
