Abstract
The language of products that we shape today is influenced mainly by the way manufacturing processes let us do things. The more flexible a process becomes, the broader shapes we can produce. This paper aims to document an experimentation process held at the Los Andes University as a different approach to teach that topic to designers. By this mean, a chance of empowerment is given to students with the possibility to reshape the way things are produced. Understanding the basic configuration of the industry in a different way may open further possibilities to create better products in the near future.
