Crafting the Digital: Developing expression and materiality within digital design and manufacture
The paper presents practice led research that seeks to challenge current approaches to 3D digital design and manufacturing, and its application in the production of highly regulated, controlled and predetermined outcomes. Inspired by the works and writings of David Pye (1968), the paper presents a practical investigation into the production of digitally designed and manufactured wooden vessels. The research develops approaches to manufacture where the final physical characteristics are not fully determined within the CAD modelling phase, and applies craft making knowledge within the digital machining processes to develop expressive forms and surfaces that are responsive to the physicality of making, and the material of manufacture.
