Fab Ahead: Build and maintain open design products, forever

Hello, Co-Founder of Fab Ahead here. We are trying a new angle to fight planned obsolescence and other anti-consumer practices by building an open design marketplace that solves the barrier to entry problems of other attempts. We are doing this by: • Focusing the platform on physical products that could be substituted for manufactured goods. • Integrating parts not eligible for additive manufacturing or similar methods into the ecosystem. • Lowering the skill floor to participate by allowing customers the option to order all form molded parts rather than requiring them to 3D print themselves. • By lowering the skill floor to allow access to a wider market we can allow product designers to earn a substantial income off royalty style revenue.
