'''Digital modeling and fabrication''' is a process that joins [[design]] with production through the use of [[3D modeling]] [[computer software|software]] or [[Computer-aided design|computer-aided design (CAD)]] and [[additive manufacturing process]] and [[subtractive manufacturing processesprocess]]es. [[3D printing]] falls under additive, while machining falls under subtractive.<ref>{{Cite web|title = What is digital modeling and fabrication? - Definition from WhatIs.com|url = http://searchmanufacturingerp.techtarget.com/definition/Digital-modeling-and-fabrication|website = SearchManufacturingERP|access-date = 2016-02-17|language = en-US}}</ref> These tools allow designers to produce material digitally, which is something greater than an image on screen, and actually tests the accuracy of the software and computer lines.

Computer milling and fabrication integrate the computer assisted designs with that of the [[Construction|construction industry]]. In this process, the sequence of operations becomes the critical characteristic in procedure. Architects can propose complex surfaces, where the properties of materials should push the design.
