A cutting-edge survey of industrial techniques available for use by designer-makers, including a downloadable design to modify and print and guidance on how to brief a bureau service.This book showcases ground-breaking methods and techniques that have been adapted from industry and are now being applied by designer-makers.

To the uninitiated, these technologies may seem complex, but this book explains simply and clearly how they have developed, how they work, and their application. Packed full with case studies of artists using these processes, this book demonstrates that outstanding work is possible with the right equipment and know-how, and argues that designer makers have the mindset, skills and knowledge to creatively engage with these industrial technologies.

Learn about 2D and 3D digital designing and modelling (including CAD and processing), 3D printing (additive manufacture), reverse engineering (scanning and digitising), CNC machining, laser and waterjet cutting. Featuring a breathtaking selection of work by contemporary makers - many of them early adopters of these technologies – this book illustrates the exciting potential of these tools to add value to your practice, as well as inspiring and extending your range of work.
