Digital Fabrication

The project archive: the research pages, deliverables and seminar material on digital fabrication that were published at this domain by the original consortium, kept at their original addresses. Nothing in this section was written by us, and nothing in it has been rewritten. It is reproduced as it was published, in a new frame, because the links to it from universities and funding bodies are still live and still worth something.

That principle has consequences, and they are intentional. The stamp on an archive page is its first publication date and it does not move; the text keeps the spelling, the units and the house style of the people who wrote it; the documents the pages link to are still downloadable at the addresses the project used, rather than behind a form. Where a page pointed at material that no longer exists anywhere, the link stays visible and dead rather than being quietly deleted.

Our own editorial notes, where we add them, are marked as ours and kept separate from the archived text. Read this section as a historical record of what a European research consortium thought the printed-electronics decade would look like — including the parts it got wrong.
