More open acceptance

Social financing tools, such as Kickstarter, aimed at empowering entrepreneurs \"little ones\", have undoubtedly driven the campaign.

The chief executive of Wired, the CEO of an unmanned aircraft manufacturing company, touted the manufacturer\'s movement as a pioneer in the new industrial revolution, which will give everyone access to factory production tools.
The movement dates back to San Mateo, California.
In 2006, the editor of MAKE magazine held the first Maker Faire, a platform for self-presentation
Show their work to the public.
Since then, the mini-Maker Faires has appeared in cities around the world and was held 56 times in 2012.
The second mini-Maker Faire was held in Toronto this weekend.
During the day event at Wychwood Barns, about 60 manufacturers demonstrated work, presentations or operational workshops with skills such as robotics and programming.
\"People should know that technology is not amazing,\" said Eric Boyd, 30.
It\'s all in common.

\"It is possible to understand how all of these things work.
For example, even if you can\'t make a shiny or fancy phone (
As a big company)
You can build one if you want.
\"With this movement, the whole (consumer)
Culture is almost upside down, \"added Jann Dodd, Boyd\'s partner.

Fans of production were introduced.
\"One starts with what they want to do or do and then tries to figure out what they need to learn to achieve that.
There are a variety of players in the Toronto maker circle, many of which are enthusiasts.
They range from the start-up of the hardware prototype to the craftsman of the weaving circle.
Some want to bridge the digital divide between economic groups: our real North 3D Printing Co. , Ltd.
Is an emerging startup that focuses on making manufacturer technology popular in rural and northern Ontario communities, and the Toronto Public Library is piloting its own maker space with reference to the library and Fort New York, to solve the barriers to technology acquisition.

\"For me, the manufacturer movement is about independence and information sharing,\" said Ryan Dyment, executive director of the Institute, former KPMG accountant and enthusiastic manufacturer.
\"Our vision for society is to expand the concept of libraries and encourage people to use them instead of owning them.
\"Despite so much growth, the situation in Toronto has not yet competed with a manufacturer center like San Francisco, and the San Francisco movement has a deeper roots and is not so scattered, part of the reason is that the nearby \"burn people Festival\" (the epic DIY extravaganza held in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada) has driven the community.
Doode and Boyd hope that Toronto\'s faire will help integrate local manufacturer scenarios and engage a wider community --
A key purpose of the manufacturer.
With the advancement of democracy in production, it is difficult to assess the situation of large enterprises.
Some companies such as Ford, Radio Shack and Pepsi seem to accept the campaign by sponsoring faires.
The Toronto Tools Library received donations from several large retailers, including the Canadian Home Depot Foundation, which donated $3,000, plus $1,000.
Canadian tires also contribute.
\"They don\'t think we\'re competitors, and I don\'t advertise like that,\" Dyment explained . \".
It is not clear whether the manufacturer\'s movement will begin to infringe heavily on traditional manufacturing systems or, on a smaller scale, whether devices like 3D printers will soon be found in each home.
\"As far as I know, we have just started this technology,\" said Tom Zizys, a well-known labor market expert . \".
