Domain framework: edt_framework
Scope
Local, on-demand fabrication, materials processing, and repair infrastructure that reduces a community’s dependence on external supply chains. Grounded in IPCC AR6 Ch. 11 (industry) and IEA TCEP industry category. Treated as an innovation frontier domain — near-term applicability at eco-village scale is emerging. CR_004
Key technologies
3D printing and additive manufacturing, CNC fabrication, fab labs, open-source hardware designs, local repair hubs, robotics for agriculture and construction, biomaterials fabrication, makerspaces, distributed manufacturing networks, community tool libraries.
SSI connections
- I08 Innovation & appropriate technology — the indicator covers context-adapted, cost-effective, locally grounded innovation, often integrating traditional knowledge with modern approaches; cost-effective manufacturing and service technologies appropriate to the local context are among its assessment items. CR_001 LIT_001
- I01 Financial & economic sufficiency — local manufacturing and repair reduces import costs and builds internal economic capability.
- I06 Resistance to external shocks — on-site fabrication and repair capacity insulates community from supply chain disruptions.
