An Ode To Digital Fabrication

It's not every day you're contacted by a Finnish professor working for an American university in Doha, Qatar who explains that he's written a poem about Digital Fabrication. 

 

But it happened today. 

 

Dr. Thomas Modeen, whom we've written about previously and normally focuses on physical matters such as architecture and design, has indeed written such a piece, which begins thusly:

 

What would the optimal Digital Fabrication Lab be made of..?

 

Perhaps of Lasers that splice, or 3D Printers real nice..?

 

Maybe it should be an assembly of Machines that Sinter, Glue, and cure - to make objects Very precise and pure…

 

We've seen other written work focusing on 3D printing and digital fabrication, but never a poem! Be sure to read the rest at his blog.
