A digital design and technology ‘wave’ is opening up new acoustic possibilities for bells that have been cast and tuned in traditional materials and processes. This shift along the manufacturing continuum from analogue processes to digital design technologies has shown exciting opportunities for bells to be used in new urban acoustic design. The ‘Federation Bells Carillon’ in Melbourne and new bell design for the Longnow Foundation’s 10,000-Year Clock as well as the first 3D printed bells in titanium and stainless-steel are rewriting the concept of ‘the bell’ in communal cultural experience. This presentation outlines the work of bell designer and founder Anton Hasell in these and other public-space projects.

This presentation will chart the thematic initiation, design expression and fabrication process - from beginning to the end of the program. It also suggests further steps that can help root Digital Fabrication in the Philippines. The Philippine Government has established FABLAB's throughout the country - often in partnership with public universities. One goal was to stimulate innovation in the SME sector. In 2019, Design Center of the Philippines conceived a demonstration program that would not only draw attention to these underutilized resources but prove to our creative communities that digital fabrication when married to 'conventional' making could lead to new opportunities.
