Inizialmente mi ero concentrato esclusivamente sullo smartphone, in modo di progettarne uno concettualmente nuovo. Poi la mia idea si è spostata sullo smartphone come fenomeno sociale, sulle quantità e soprattutto sugli sprechi. Oggi giorno milioni di telefoni e smartphone ancora funzionanti vengo buttati o lasciati alla loro sorte solo per seguire i nuovi trend. Il primo elemento è la sostenibilità come forma di riutilizzazione di componenti, per arrivare poi a parlare di piattaforme software, hardware open source, local microfactory e 3D printing. Andiamo per ordine, visto lo spreco di cellulari ho cercato un modo per potergli dare una nuova vita, creando una filiera produttiva per la creazione di altri oggetti composti da componentistica di cellulari collegati a piattaforme hardware open source, quali Raspberry Pi o Arduino, per poi diventare prodotti finiti tramite stampa 3D. Il servizio è composto da una microfactory e da una piattaforma web, l’utente finale si interfaccia con quest’ultima mentre nella microfactory avverrà la trasformazione del tuo vecchio telefono in qualcosa di completamente nuovo. L’utente porterà il cellulare nella factory dove verrà analizzato, i feedback verranno introdotti nella web platform dove l’utente potrà controllarli e poi decidere cosa fare. Sono presenti una sezione di scambio componenti tra utenti (un vero e proprio market), una sezione click and buy, e una sezione per più esperti dove puoi fare upload dei tuoi progetti o modificare quelli presenti nella community per poi decidere di farseli produrre da Fabre oppure rimetterli nella web platform per la community. Tramite i componenti di cellulari quali LCD, fotocamere, moduli wifi, bluetooth, GPS e le enormi potenzialità di piattaforme hardware opensource si aprono infinite possibilità su cosa “creare”. Nel mio progetto farò una proposta esempio di un actionCam creata dall’utilizzo del componente fotocamera di smartphone e la piattaforma Raspberry Pi, questa sarà una delle tante possibilità che saranno accessibili all’utente. In breve cos’è Fabre, è un idea che nasce dagli odierni cambiamenti nel settore dell’industria, tecnologia e nuove filosofia di pensiero (quali DIYers, makers, ecc) cercando di sensibilizzare l’utente al riutilizzo di oggetti di uso comune come lo smartphone. La microfactory di Fabre inizialmente è pensata per essere una sola ma con sviluppi futuri che prevedono l’apertura di più microfactory.
Fabre. Give your phone a new life

Abstract
Initially I had focused exclusively on the use of smartphones, later on I have thought to design one conceptually new until I reached the point where I consider a smartphone as a social phenomenon, especially on the quantities and wastages. Today millions of phones and smartphones that are still working are thrown away or left to their fate only to follow the new trends. The first element to take in consideration is sustainability, as a form of re-use of components. Then I have decided to concentrate on to software’s platforms, open sources hardware, local micro-factory and 3D printing. To begin with, I have thought of a way to give a phone a new purpose and possibility, by establishing a production line, using 3d printing, for the creation of other objects composed of cellular components, related to open sources hardware and platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The service consists both of a micro-factory and a web platform, in which the users interfaces and can transform their old phone into something completely new. Once the phone is taken to the factory, it will be analysed, feedback will be introduced into the web platform where users can check them and decide what to do and what components to re-use.
