Manula Manufacturing
Why?
Perform manual manufacturing techniques to create a first prototype and test if your thought up concept works.
You can apply manual manufacturing in any phase of your design process, but it can be at least very effective after you created a concept and after you created your digital design for a machine.
Last, you can also use manual manufacturing to adapt your machine created structure.
