MATERIAL DRIVEN
Master Thesis
Year: 2019
Inherent in every material are form-giving forces that can enrich artifacts with an inner logic and comprehensibility. »Material driven, digitally produced« examines how these forces can be used as a source of variation and uniqueness in digital fabrication. With the aid of a digitally controlled robotic arm, liquid porcelain is processed in a free-flowing manner and used to produce finely structured objects. The resulting patterns make the material behavior visible even after the casting process. The work refers to the dialogue between autonomous material and sensitive craft and transfers aspects of it into a generative, digital-analog process.

jüngerkühn is a design studio creating products, digital manufacturing processes and installations.
In their digital craft based practice they challenge the boundaries of materials and manufacturing processes and experiment with new production methods and models. They use digital technologies like robotics to enable new material-driven production that draws on the richness of crafted objects. In their practice digital tools are especially interesting for the design and manufacturing of products as they allow for both larger quantities and high flexibility at the same time.
