了解专业人员如何在生产流程中使用数字制造，对于未来数字制造技术的研究至关重要。我们采访了13位专业人士，他们使用数字制造技术进行商业产品的小批量生产。通过这些访谈，我们描述了使用各种材料和制造方法创建的九种产品的工作流程。我们展示了数字制造专业人员如何使用软件开发来支持物理生产，他们如何在开发中依赖多个部分表示，他们如何开发制造流程，以及机器控制如何成为自己的设计空间。我们建立从这些发现认为，未来的数字制造系统应该支持探索的材料和机器的行为，以及几何形状，模拟是不足以理解设计空间，材料的限制和资源管理是有意义的设计维度支持。通过观察专业人士如何学习，我们提出了数字制造系统可以帮助掌握新制造技术的方法。
Understanding how professionals use digital fabrication in production workflows is critical for future research in digital fabrication technologies. We interviewed thirteen professionals who use digital fabrication for the low-volume manufacturing of commercial products. From these interviews, we describe the workflows used for nine products created with a variety of materials and manufacturing methods. We show how digital fabrication professionals use software development to support physical production, how they rely on multiple partial representations in development, how they develop manufacturing processes, and how machine control is its own design space. We build from these findings to argue that future digital fabrication systems should support the exploration of material and machine behavior alongside geometry, that simulation is insufficient for understanding the design space, and that material constraints and resource management are meaningful design dimensions to support. By observing how professionals learn, we suggest ways digital fabrication systems can scaffold the mastery of new fabrication techniques.
