Abstract
The digital revolution is expanding beyond the virtual towards tangible material transformation. Advanced digital technologies are enabling small manufacturers of objects the opportunity to engage with making in new ways. This research-through-design exploration was conducted to better understand how Fused Deposition Modelling could be utilised as a production ready option in furniture design.
