The collaboration was aimed at finding a transformation procedure from digital to analog production without using the usual CNC milling tools. As additional condition, the prototyping process needed to be executable in a facility that strictly works with handmade tools, like a ceramic manufacturer. For this purpose, the digital construction data was formed with polygonal lines only so that the blueprint could be sent and printed out by a demoded, low-tech device such as the fax machine.
