Digital Lithic Design: „Cactus“. Marble polishing following the three‐dimensional milling‐cutting operations is usually performed by hand. This work experiments the possibility of polishing the surface directly on the machine by using dedicated tools and processing paths without any manual input. The complex and sinuous shape is closely related to the shape of the processing disc. Design: Raffaello Galiotto, produced by Omag.
