The bottom line

Only about 10% of Model Makers, Wood is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: The UNSPSC tool distribution heavily favors physical fabrication, with 20 tools across segments 27 and 23 (prior=0.00) such as angle grinders and CNC lathes, though there is a minority of CAD/office software in segment 43. This manual focus is confirmed by top work activities like Handling and Moving Objects (4.22) and Controlling Machines (4.21). Extremely high work context scores for Wearing Protective Equipment (4.91) and Exposure to Hazardous Equipment (4.36) securely anchor this occupation in the physical band.
