7. Subtractive Digital Fab (CNC, laser, water-jet)
= Precise cutting, drilling, machining, carving
= Once industrial automation and high volume
= PC Now makes Flexible/Agile
= (evolved physical : new digital)
= Affordable / Individual Oriented
= Wide range of scale and materials

10. Fidelity to Digital Model (users/tools/techniques)
No Cost of Complexity
Embedded Assembly
One or Many
Computational Power
- accessibility/usability
- production efficiencies
digital fabrication makes new kinds of
production possible …
