The project aims to help fab cities to produce everything they consume on the basis of collaboratively developed and globally shared data as commons on the web. It promotes a green, resilient, and digitally-based mode of production and consumption that enables the greatest possible sovereignty, empowerment and participation of citizens all over the world.

Within the Interfacer Project, Dyne.org focused on the core component of this technology stack, the Interfacer Platform (aka Fab City OS Core), an innovative federated solution, tackling the challenges facing open-source hardware projects by mapping out the entire product lifecycle.
