What is Digital Fabrication

1.

Digital fabrication is a type of manufacturing process where the machine used is controlled by a computer. Are classed according to the processes acting upon the physical and/or chemical properties of the materials used. These are: additive procedures, subtractive procedures and formative procedures (according Brankolevic and Malkawi, 2003 AU39: The in-text citation "Brankolevic and Malkawi, 2003" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ), and joining procedures (Schodek, 2005 AU40: The in-text citation "Schodek, 2005" is not in the reference list.
