Manufacturing industries are facing severe competition to achieve products with high quality and low price. It is important to establish a new approach of creating value-added products like objects of craftwork or applied arts, different from traditional way of achieving products with high quality and low price. For the making of soft objects such as rubber, the mold is usually employed. However, fabrication of the mold is not suitable for small lot production. On the other hand, it is difficult to precisely machine soft objects which have completely different characteristics compared to metals generally machined by machine tools. Thus, the study deals with the first trial of creating an artistic product shape of soft objects by employing an aqueous solution of sodium acetate to fix a workpiece and to improve the stiffness. As a result of conducted experiments, it is found that the usage of the aqueous solution of sodium acetate has the potential of realizing “Dexterous Machining” of soft objects.
