Serendipity and Discovery in a Machine Age: Craft and a CNC Router (2009)
article⁄Serendipity and Discovery in a Machine Age: Craft and a CNC Router (2009)
abstract⁄Our digital carving experiments reveal ways to invite discovery into the design process. Working with sketched lines, handcrafted finishing, geometric overlay, and tool path coding can lead a designer to unexpected results. Concentrating on forming processes moving through material over time encourages openended play. Iteratively examining how computer operations generate carved results provides a craftsman’s understanding of tools and materials.
