StepDance: A Toolkit for Redesigning CNC Machines Using Physical Metaphors

Researchers can build craft-aligned digital fabrication technologies by designing interfaces inspired by craft tools. This process often demands real-time physical interactions not supported by today’s automation-focused CNC control systems. We theorize we can lower engineering challenges for craft-aligned CNC prototy…

A Cantilevered DeltaXY Positioning Mechanism Enabling Rackable Digital Fabrication Form Factors

Desktop digital fabrication presumes form-factors designed for workbenches, limiting suitability for other spaces and workflows. We propose a class of physically narrow and deep “rackable” digital fabrication machines that offers opportunities for new applications and interactions. Flexible and inconspicuous placement…
