Wired article

    He scheduled two months to build the machine; it took 14.

    "I drew out the dimensions in 3D software," Molin said, starting with an 80cm cube on which the machine was built. But after that the machine was made using a technique philosophically similar to that of moulage -- or moulding clothes directly onto a fashion doll. Each piece was built by Molin, moulded and adjusted gradually, leading to its gloriously misshapen final form.

Thanks for this.
