Assa and team at London science museum – exhibiting the digital forming technology and ‘open products’
Last August we were invited to show at London’s science museum by Louis Buckley and the antenna team.
As part of the Science Museum’s 100 years anniversary we were invited to show a glimpse into the ‘ future of manufacturing’.
using our digital forming technology, we exhibited a collection of 3d modifiable and shape changing products designed by Assa. the notion of ‘open 3d products’ was presented for the first time. Embed your 3d products and ‘open’ them to co-design within Boundaries…

New scenarios in 3D design and production
The upcoming event being organised by the DHUB consists of not one but a
series of activities (exhibitions, real-time fabrication laboratories,
workshops, lectures, etc.) that offer a comprehensive overview of 3D
digital manufacturing technologies, a new reality in constant
evolution that is producing a fundamental transformation of design and
production processes.

ME & MY to WE & US – A Paradigm Shift, keynote Speaker at Conference 3D+Time in Tel Aviv
Assa will give a key note presentation titled: ME & MY to WE & US – A Paradigm Shift in Tel Aviv, feb 17th
Using our Digital Forming® technology we are offering a
genuine positive change.There is no middle man anymore; with our Digital Forming®
technology designers can connect to home users directly from their
desktop.”
We offer Co designers the opportunity to shift from being
‘consumers’ to partners. By co designing users have the opportunity to add
their personal values to their daily products
I see this is a real opportunity for designers to connect
directly to users. The scenario has changed; young designers are mainly
recruited by large brands for internal design positions. The ‘free’ independent
designer signature has a lower distribution and impact today. With our Digital
Forming® technology designers can connect to home users directly from their
desktop.

The talk will focus on Assa latest research in embedded 3D and online
interactive product development. Assa will introduce some ground braking scenarios
in CO Design and the notion of ‘OPEN software products’. New scenarios of local
manufacturing networks will be explored.
A preview of the www.UCODO.com
products 3D customisation and the Digital
Forming® technology will follow after an intro to the team and the two new UK companies
Assa is invited to give a workshop at the Shankar school of Art Media &
Design in Tel Aviv Feb 14th-18th
keynote speech ‘Creating The Future’ at London Metropolitan, Feb 10th
Leading international designer Assa Ashuach presents a dynamic keynote speech on the latest advances and innovations in digital product design and manufacture.
Assa is one of the driving forces behind Digital Forming®, whose revolutionary new technology, unveiled last autumn at the Science
Museum, allow anyone to co-design or at least personalise household products prior to their one-off manufacture. The website where this will www.UCODO.com goes live this year.
Assa explains ‘ Digital forming was set up to democratise the personalisation of everyday products. As customers gradually demand greater freedom of choice, designers and brands are faced with new challenges in product diversity, responding through innovative product assembly strategies. This is genuine co-creation but we don’t intend to put designers out of business- we believe that while designers will still do 90 per cent of the work with consumers could add their 10 per cent to make the object their own. Who knows one day every home may have the technology to customise and manufacture their own household items?
The revolution starts here.’
‘ I see this is a real opportunity for designers to connect directly to users. the scenario has changed, young designers are mainly recruited by large brands for internal design positions. The ‘free’ independent designer signature has a lower distribution and impact today. With our Digital Forming® technology designers can connect to home users directly from their desktop.’
