A new digital revolution is coming, this time in fabrication.
Neil Gershenfeld, Director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms
Ever since the invention of additive manufacturing technology that is also known as 3D printing in the early 1980s, we have seen a Third Digital Revolution called Digital Fabrication. Digital fabrication refers to “a process by which an object design is created on a computer, and the object is automatically produced by a machine”.
With the rise in Digital Fabrication, we are now witnessing a new creative moment known as the ‘digital artisans movement’, where digital artisans are producing products of exceptional quality through digital design and fabrication.

Crafted Objects explores the rise of digital fabrication and its effectiveness as a tool for craft production, in order to uncover possibilities for hybrid craft production.
The explorations are divided into four parts: 3D-Modelling, 3D-Printing, Materials and Traditional Casting Techniques. Ultimately, this project hopes to discover what it means to be a craftsman, in the age of digital fabrication, and open up conversations among makers and craftsmen who are interested in exploring new production methods.
