Community members carrying out maintenance of a SymFab Pod in the Hong Kong CRZ (2093).
The SymFab pods are designed for localized, ecological forms of hi-tech production and consumption of advanced composites employing “symbiotic manufacturing.” The carbonization of organic matter and fibers are applied to create effective alternatives of high-performance composites from organic sources for socially useful fabrication systems, which are carbon sequestering by integrating into local industrial production for advanced technological applications. When processed as bio-composites, the pyrolytic carbonization of these natural fibers is produced from organic fibers with in-situ processing of plant-based resins that can even be used to create high clay-based ceramic electrodes. Much of this is possible with new discoveries in symbiotic computing interfaces termed ‘symbitronics.’ These interfaces mediate the interactions between these fabrication infrastructures to maintain and nurture the ecological processes.
