ABSTRACT
This Studio will give an introduction to Subtractive Digital Fabrication, using a ShopBot CNC (Computer Numeric Control) Tool, and explore options for fast local manufacturing of precise project pieces large and small. It will involve both theory and hands-on components that will give people involved in building tangible embedded and embodied interfaces an overview of the processes involved in creating prototypes and manufacturing components using these type of tools.

A complete CAD/CAM/CNC solution for STEP-compliant manufacturing
STEP-NC or ISO 14649 is the next generation of data models between CAD/CAM and CNC systems. After a decade of investigation, the STEP-NC technology is still under developed. The lack of a complete CAD/CAM/CNC prototype system with full bidirectional ...
Popfab: A Case for Portable Digital Fabrication
TEI '17: Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionWe present a case study of Popfab, a portable multi-purpose digital fabrication tool. It is uses interchangeable heads (3D printer, CNC mill, and CNC knife) on a general-purpose motion platform that folds into a briefcase. Popfab contributed to the ...
Toward interoperable CNC manufacturing
Digital Enterprise Technology: Perspectives and Future ChallengesMost manufacturing enterprises now employ compute numerical control (CNC) technology in their production chain. Improving the performance and flexibility of the computer aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM)/CNC chain can therefore, have ...
