The aim of this paper is to examine the ways in which drawing in the digital age
presents new methods of hybrid product creation, blurring the boundaries
between the physical and digital creation of a three-dimensional design. A
project called ‘MyPen’ illustrates an interactive fabrication workflow, and
investigates how complex products may be created by customers with no
knowledge of CAD programs, using instead their innate ability to draw simple
geometry or mould a shape with their hands.The aim of this paper is to examine the ways in which drawing in the digital age
