Catalog Documentation template for fablab
Having a Documentation Template to help fablab and makers to document their projects with the goal to make it reporductable in every fablab that follows this template. When all the steps of a project is documented for a particular fabalab (i.e. all doc on manufacturing are present) a member of this fablab shall be able to make the project with total autonomy. This template shall be general enough to be applicable to all possible project.
The catalog shall take in account all the steps of a DIY project. For the moment the conception and the manufacturing shall be the 2 main steps of a project. The conception shall be usable as it is in all Fablab. The manufacturing shall be related to a specific configuration(machines/fablab/...). For exemple each fablab shall produce their own manufacturing documentation.

| STEPS | SUPPORT | Presentation in Catalog |
|---|---|---|
| Idea / Concept of the product | Text Document | Template document- Intro to present the need- Presentation of the concept- Person implicated in the conception- Project of inspiration |
