iProduce

The iPRODUCE project introduces a novel social manufacturing platform that embraces manufacturing companies in the consumer goods sector, their associations/ networks, Fablabs/ makers spaces, DIY communities and various other innovation players at the local level. The platform adopts Fab-Lab concepts and makers approaches and installs them in local multi-stakeholder ecosystems that are transformed collaborative manufacturing ecosystems supported by cMDFs. In iPRODUCE, local cMDFs will come together in a flexible federated organisational structure that enables knowledge extraction and sharing, and also the sharing of resources and of manufacturing facilities.
