Fab City OS

As an output of the INTERFACER project, Fab City OS is a central component of the digital infrastructure of a Fab City and can be easily installed and used by users as part of the Fab City Software Kit. It enables the efficient production and marketing of open-source hardware (OSH) at all levels of the value chain of distributed production.

It starts out as a fork of the ReflowOS project, which enables modeling of economic exchanges to promote trustworthy circularity at a generic level. The work of interfacer focuses this featureset on workflows related to OSH and production workflows.

Fab City OS will allow designers to exchange and contribute to each others designs and bring manufacturing and design closer together. Depending on the user, only certain elements of the software stack are needed.
