We believe in radical self-empowerment through making. In a world where textile production is controlled by closed systems, intellectual property laws, and extractive economies, we reclaim the tools of fabrication as a shared, open resource. We intend to foster local making as the source of reinventing sustainable futures.

Open Textile Fabrication is not just about machines—it is about agency. It is about rethinking the relationship between humans, materials, and technology, fostering a space where craft, code, and community intersect. Through open-source tools, shared knowledge, and decentralized production, we challenge the dominant narratives of ownership and access.

We embrace a more-than-human approach to design, where technology is not a tool of control but a co-creator—a collaborator in expanding material possibilities. Our machines do not replace craft; they extend it, evolve with it, and invite new forms of making that resist standardization.

This is a space for collective disruption. By sharing our projects, recipes, and techniques, we dismantle the artificial scarcity imposed by capitalism. Innovation is not a privilege—it is a commons. Knowledge is not a commodity—it is meant to be circulated, hacked, remixed.

We stand for a future where textiles and materials are made ethically, experimentally, and in radical solidarity with those who resist mass production’s waste and exploitation.

This platform is an invitation: to build, to experiment, to reclaim the means of making.
