What does interaction Design bring to the topic of Digital Fabrication?
How can the theory of embodied influence digital fabrication processes?
Can the outcome of the fabrication reflect the theory of embodiment?
What tools/technology can be used to facilitate this process?
How cad data be visualised in physical form? Can the data be read, or is transformed purely into an aesthetic output?
