Abstract

This paper presents discussions resulting from a study aimed at analyzing the integration of Digital Fabrication (DF) in the context of Education. DF refers to processes that use computers connected to manufacturing machines to build physical objects. DF practices are also linked to the principles of the Maker Movement. To achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographic research methodology was used to gather the set that comprises the empirical material of this study. The analytical exercise presented in this article was based on 11 bibliographic sources, consisting of scientific productions on the topic with a focus on the notion of learning presented by DF. The analysis undertaken allowed us to identify a contradiction between DF and the Maker Movement: while the learning
advocated by the Maker Movement advocates for individuals to exercise their creativity in project development, some DF practices do not stimulate creativity. As a result, the creative work of individuals is minimized, and learning may not occur in that sense.
