In the technology education in the junior high school, developing an own design with a handwritten design and wooden work using hand tools are taught for many years. However, for the present students in a digital native generation, handwritten design and wooden work using hand tools are inexperienced and difficult. Rather, learning the first manufacturing using a smartphone and a tablet PC which they use every day brings easier, more interesting and high level learning. Therefore, in this study, digital fabrication is introduced to the technology education in the junior high school. In addition, results of an experimental class of the digital manufacturing for junior high school students were reported.
