摘要: In the past few decades, advances in digital design tools have made it possible to design highly complex 3D shapes. However, physical realization of these shapes remains a challenging task. Recently, the emergence of affordable fabrication tools such as 3D printers and laser cutters allows us to turn a digital design into a physical object. But effective use of these tools requires the design shape to satisfy specific requirements related to the fabrication technologies, which are not considered by traditional 3D design tools. We argue that these fabrication requirements can be incorporated into the design process as geometric constraints, such that the resulting designs can be realized using specific technologies and materials. We present a few fabrication-aware design tools for different applications, from freeform architectural design to cost-effective fabrication of large objects.
