But digital production technology is so fast, as well as so precise, that each piece is produced individually, and can therefore be customized to suit the needs of whoever will use it.
The system has greater flexibility, shorter production cycles, and lower cost through the use of digital production technology, guarantees the quality of the cranial defects restoration model, reduces the surgical risks, and alleviates the patients' pain.
Funk songs such as "The Blues", "Oakland Stroke", "Let's Have a Good Time", and "Feels Good" incorporate digital production technology.
Both projects are examples of the plethora of experiments in rapidly evolving areas of design, like 3-D printing and other digital production technologies, which could eventually benefit millions of people.
The clues as to what it will be like are already apparent in the experiments with digital production technologies conducted by progressive design groups, including Unfold in Belgium and Do the Mutation in Italy.
But at the back of the book, an appendix dealing with digital production technologies provides detailed instructions complete with a gnarly-looking flowchart on when and how to edit HTML and XML files during the course of producing a book, e-book, or Web publication.

Flexibility will become even more important to the furniture industry in the future as the development of digital production technologies transforms the relationship between designers, manufacturers and consumers by enabling the latter to influence the design of original objects, rather than simply customizing finished pieces.
Now that the hoopla of the Salone is over, the furniture industry faces the challenge not only of the continuing recession, but of wrestling with such complex issues as improving its environmental record and making use of the new digital production technologies, which featured in many of the fringe shows last week.
Similarly, the Brooklyn-based design group MakerBot Industries had developed a series of desktop 3-D printers in the hope of popularizing the digital production technologies, which emerged as an important theme in design last year and were showcased at the Istanbul Design Biennial and several museum exhibitions.
