“Last week I wrote a piece about analogue copying.
Specifically, it centred on the 3D scanning and copying of an Aston
Martin – because that was how somebody framed the question to
me.“This provoked plenty of thoughtful comment, which I encouraged
people to post over on my other blog, since a slightly longer
format was needed than this blog could accommodate. However,
because the original piece was posted here, I’ve decided to reply
to them here (sorry if this bloggy to-ing and fro-ing causes
digital travel sickness.)“One common thread to the comments was the view that I was
discussing the wrong thing:“The key is the use of a digital pattern for driving the 3d
printer.”
