RelieFab: Gradual-Depth 2.5D Texture Prototyping using a Laser Cutter

We propose RelieFab, a rapid prototyping method that produces 2.5D textured surfaces with gradual depth transitions. Conventional rapid prototyping methods using a laser cutter can quickly cut out parts for 3D prototypes, but their surfaces can only be flat and smooth. 3D printing offers detailed textures but is time…
