Digital Crafts: Industrial Technologies For Applied Artists And Designer Makers

Description

‘Digital Crafts’ showcases ground-breaking methods and techniques that have been adapted from industry and are now being applied by designer-makers. These technologies may seem complex, however Digital Crafts simply and clearly explains how they work, have developed and their application.

Filled with case studies of artists using these processes, this book demonstrates that outstanding work is possible with the right equipment and knowledge, and argues that designer makers have the mindset and skills to creatively engage with these industrial technologies. Technologies covered include: 2D and 3D digital designing and modelling (including CAD and processing), 3D printing (additive manufacture), reverse engineering (scanning and digitising), CNC machining and laser and waterjet cutting.

Featuring a selection of work by contemporary makers – many of them early adopters of these technologies – ‘Digital Crafts’ illustrates the exciting potential of these tools and the value they can add to designer maker’s practice, as well as inspiring and extending their range of work.

‘Digital Crafts’ is a Paperback book consisting of 160 pages.
