随着数字制造机的普遍发展，在线社区为各种从业者提供了分享其作品，故障排除和社交的空间。这些社区开创了越来越新颖的制造工作流程，至关重要的是，我们了解并概念化这些工作流程以外的传统制造模型。为此，我们对#plottertwitter进行定性研究，这是一个在线社区开发自定义硬件和软件工具，以使用计算机控制的绘图机创建艺术品，称为绘图仪。我们记录并分析了新兴主题，其中传统的数字制造工作流程解释无法捕捉重要的细微差别和新生的方向。我们发现，#plottertwitter制造商在一系列可预测的步骤中倡导对编织数字和物理材料的创造性探索。我们讨论这如何挑战数字制造的长期观点，并提出对未来框架和工具包的设计含义，以说明这种实践的广度。
As digital fabrication machines become widespread, online communities have provided space for diverse practitioners to share their work, troubleshoot, and socialize. These communities pioneer increasingly novel fabrication workflows, and it is critical that we understand and conceptualize these workflows beyond traditional manufacturing models. To this end, we conduct a qualitative study of #PlotterTwitter, an online community developing custom hardware and software tools to create artwork with computer-controlled drawing machines known as plotters. We documented and analyzed emergent themes where the traditional interpretation of digital fabrication workflows fails to capture important nuances and nascent directions. We find that #PlotterTwitter makers champion creative exploration of interwoven digital and physical materials over a predictable series of steps. We discuss how this challenges long-running views of digital fabrication and propose design implications for future frameworks and toolkits to account for this breadth of practice.
