Micro Factory is a project centred around designing domestic manufacturing machinery. The project allows people to make their own products at home easily as well as share their own designs.

By focusing on concepts of open-source design and the principles of re-using materials around the home, Micro Factory looks to use design to develop new manufacturing methods which benefit society as a whole.
