    Digifab:
    On safari in the digital
    fabrication ecosystem

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Digifab is a big deal.

    functional -- make real stuff


    precise -- make good stuff
    affordable -- actually make stuff

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Digifab is a big deal.

    functional -- make real stuff


    precise -- make good stuff
    affordable -- actually make stuff
    shareable -- we can make our stuff
    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010
    Digifab is huge

    not one single technology, but a massive,


    interconnected collection of technologies,
    with new ones being developed all the time.

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Digifab is opening

    the inherent shareabilty of digital files makes open


    platforms for making those files very appealing.

    I’ll call these out specifically with the logo

    Phylogeny:

    Like any ecosystem,


    there are groups of related techs in digifab

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Phylogeny:
    creation
    translation
    fabrication
    proliferation
    like any ecosystem,
    there are groups of related techs in digifab.
    we will explore 4 such families

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Creation:

    before they can be made physically,


    objects must be described virtually.
    the type of object dictates the type of file.

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Creation: 2d

    : inkscape, qcad

    illustrator, autocad, eaglecad

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Translation:

    some of the machines used for fabrication


    can only digest certain types of files.
    translators change one filetype into another.

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Translation: Cleanup

    : meshlab, blender

    Dominic Muren | Dorkbot SEA | February 2010


    Translation: Unfolding

    Translation: Toolpaths

    : skeinforge, pleasant 3d

    sketchup slicemodeler

    Fabrication:

    these processes turn bits into bytes.


    different processes yield different materials or objects.

    the Future of
    Digifab?

    wider availability... but hopefully not one in every house
