Engaging Young People in the Expressive Opportunities of Digital Fabrication Through Craft-Oriented CAM-Based Design

Digital fabrication can be a rich creative domain for young people. Most youth-oriented digital fabrication activities focus on CAD, where practitioners design solid geometry. Professional designers frequently bypass CAD and instead design at the level of the machine toolpath. This CAM-based design process allows for…

Practice-driven Software Development: A Collaborative Method for Digital Fabrication Systems Research in a Residency Program

Building new software tools for professional digital fabrication requires that HCI researchers understand domain-specific materials and fabrication workflows to ensure software operations align with professional manufacturing requirements. To bridge the research-practice divide, we adopt a practice-driven software dev…

PunchPrint: Creating Composite Fiber-Filament Craft Artifacts by Integrating Punch Needle Embroidery and 3D Printing

New printing strategies have enabled 3D-printed materials that imitate traditional textiles. These filament-based textiles are easy to fabricate but lack the look and feel of fiber textiles. We seek to augment 3D-printed textiles with needlecraft to produce composite materials that integrate the programmability of add…
