StepDance: A Toolkit for Redesigning CNC Machines Using Physical Metaphors

Researchers can build craft-aligned digital fabrication technologies by designing interfaces inspired by craft tools. This process often demands real-time physical interactions not supported by today’s automation-focused CNC control systems. We theorize we can lower engineering challenges for craft-aligned CNC prototy…

A Cantilevered DeltaXY Positioning Mechanism Enabling Rackable Digital Fabrication Form Factors

Desktop digital fabrication presumes form-factors designed for workbenches, limiting suitability for other spaces and workflows. We propose a class of physically narrow and deep “rackable” digital fabrication machines that offers opportunities for new applications and interactions. Flexible and inconspicuous placement…

Don't Mesh Around: Streamlining Manual-Digital Fabrication Workflows with Domain-Specific 3D Scanning

Software-first digital fabrication workflows are often at odds with material-driven approaches to design. Material-driven design is especially critical in manual ceramics, where the craftsperson shapes the form through hands-on engagement. We present the Craft-Aligned Scanner (CAS), a 3D scanning and clay-3D printing…

Throwing Out Conventions: Reimagining Craft-Centered CNC Tool Design through the Digital Pottery Wheel

Skilled potters use manual tools with direct material engagement. In contrast, the design of clay 3D printers and workflows reinforces industrial CNC manufacturing conventions. To understand how digital fabrication can serve skilled craft practitioners, we ask: how might clay 3D printing function if it had evolved fro…
