Applied Digital Fabrication through Assistive Technology
Digital Fabrication is a very general technology. It can be used in industrial applications, it can also be used in jewellery. Who knew it can also be used to change someone's life in such a simple way. By having a beginners mindset Nitrous was able to use digital fabrication to literally change people's lives. Not only that, it has also showed us as a technical team how sometimes its very important to focus on the application rather than getting lost in the Technology.
