The CAAD group presented two recent digital fabrication projects at the Materializing Exhibition at Tokyo University of the Arts. The group exhibition is curated by Yusuke Oono and Taichi Sunayama.
Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer presented a 1:3 scale gilded 3D printed prototype of the Digital Grotesque project, and Hironori Yoshida presented Digitized Grain, an example of ScanToProduction. In the latter project, 16 digitized grain planks were erected, emulating an artificial forest as well as demonstrating applications in living environments.
