Abstract
CNC-supported manufacturing makes common construction processes more efficient and predictable. However, this change in manufacturing processes also enables a re-think of current process workflows. This paper explores what carpenters with joinery robots can learn from the maker movement with 3D printers. In contrast to this long-established craft, the maker movement can be seen as a young phenomenon that works dynamically with modern technology like the Web and CNC machines. For some years now, carpenters have been investing more and more in CNC robots. By conducting a comparison, three overlaps and three differences between these two disciplines are discussed. As the results indicate, craftsmen will continue to face geographical, legal and static challenges in the future. However, there is still great potential in dealing with the digital model among craft people. Not only automated production of components but also the digital model would open up new possibilities in their profession.
