The development of digital manufacturing technologies such as cnc routers and rapid prototypers will allow designers and manufacturers to share files and collaborate over designs that have minimal impact on the environment.

The aim is to build up a repository of eco-products that can be made on low cost digital machines, similar to the one shown here, stimulating local markets and communities, and reducing transport emissions.Of course we would be delighted for you to order these products from us, but where this is not possible please contact us with comments, suggestions or improvements.
