Industry 2.0 is the concept of flexible, digital fabrication via RepLabs, fueled by globally-shared designs that are developed collaboratively. This is a manifestation of the trend where increasingly powerful, automated fabrication capacities can produce just about anything on a desktop - which took large factories to accomplish in times past. This is also a manifestation of the power of the digital age to tap limitless information flows - via seamless global collaboration for creating design repositories that can be downloaded freely from the internet.
