The document discusses open design and FabLabs, community-focused digital fabrication workshops. It notes that open design processes can be used to develop initiatives with communities. FabLabs are places where open design happens and digital fabrication technologies like 3D printing are used. The document outlines several government policies related to open design and FabLabs, including investments in digital fabrication by the US, UK, and Singapore. It suggests policies should be codesigned and discusses using open design and public services design approaches for policymaking.
