Autonomous production as a viable alternative to large-scale industry

Open source 3d printing technology, for some years, has been preparing to respond to the needs of society where autonomous manufacturers take on challenges that, until now, were reserved for large companies in the sector. Schools are formed in laboratories, taking on new challenges and opening up new scenarios and teaching methods. In this context, the world of architecture and home design is heading towards previously unexplored and novel terrain. This research work aims to explore through experimentation if production on demand is feasible in time, form and economy to greatly reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing. In short, the personal nature of autonomous production, in this context, adds to the possibility of reusing plastics such as PET, which are the cause of great global pollution. The objective is to investigate whether from now on the large industry will lose the character of exclusivity since the FabLab, the Makers are presented as the main protagonists of the near future due to their low environmental impact.
