Describes using Grasshopper to generate CAD, sending files to SLS 3D printing, MakerBot, laser cutters and a five-axis CNC robot to make finished goods. Details: earrings and jewelry produced one‑off, no inventory; a Kickstarter run of 500 leather bike‑lights with automated CAD output; 30 sandstone likenesses made in two weeks.
