As digital fabrication machines become widespread, online communities have provided
space for diverse practitioners to share their work, troubleshoot, and socialize. These …

The “material turn” in HCI has placed a renewed focus on informing design from the
relationships found in material-based interactions. While several ethnographic works …

We present Jubilee, an open-source hardware machine with automatic tool-changing and
interchangeable bed plates. As digital fabrication tools have become more broadly …

Our work links hybrid practices from biology, fine arts, and design in a studio setting to
support materially-oriented engagement with biotechnology. Using autoethnographic …

Recent work in HCI has called for deeper ethical considerations when engaging with more-
than-human organisms in design. In this paper, we introduce Microbial Revolt, a provocative …

Personal fabrication empowers users to create objects increasingly easier and faster. This
continuous decrease in effort evokes a speculative scenario of Ephemeral Fabrication (EF) …

We present a case study of Popfab, a portable multi-purpose digital fabrication tool. It is uses
interchangeable heads (3D printer, CNC mill, and CNC knife) on a general-purpose motion …

Extended Reality (XR) allows in-situ previewing of designs to be manufactured through
Personal Fabrication (PF). These in-situ interactions exhibit advantages for PF, like …

Working or WERKing on a wearable technology project in a transdisciplinary group can be
an effective way of learning new skills and collaboration techniques. This paper describes a …

The 'material turn'in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly drawing attention to
the computational affordances of materials and how we can craft with them. In this paper, we …
