Final Product Criterion for the Appropriate use of Digital Fabrication

• The design must be as innovative as the means to produce it. Without such a cyclical relation, the designer is a slave to his tools (predictable) or the design may become so naively idealistic that it exists outside of the realm of manufacture (unattainable).

• Challenge the expected outcome of mechanical and manual processes and in doing so blur the distinctions between them.

• Strike a balance between the necessity of process with the noise of possibility.
