FoolProofJoint: Reducing Assembly Errors of Laser Cut 3D Models by Means of Custom Joint Patterns

We present FoolProofJoint, a software tool that simplifies the assembly of laser-cut 3D models and reduces the risk of erroneous assembly. FoolProofJoint achieves this by modifying finger joint patterns. Wherever possible, FoolProofJoint makes similar looking pieces fully interchangeable, thereby speeding up the user’…

AutoAssembler: Automatic Reconstruction of Laser-Cut 3D Models

Recent research showed how to import laser cut 3D models encoded in the form of 2D cutting plans into a 3D editor (assembler^3), which allows users to perform parametric manipulations on such models. In contrast to assembler^3 , which requires users to perform this process manually, we present autoAssembler, which per…

Roadkill: Nesting Laser-Cut Objects for Fast Assembly

We present Roadkill, a software tool that converts 3D models to 2D cutting plans for laser cutting—such that the resulting layouts allow for fast assembly. Roadkill achieves this by putting all relevant information into the cutting plan: (1) Thumbnails indicate which area of the model a set of parts belongs to. (2) Pa…

FastForce: Real-Time Reinforcement of Laser-Cut Structures

We present fastForce, a software tool that detects structural flaws in laser cut 3D models and fixes them by introducing additional plates into the model, thereby making models up to 52x stronger. By focusing on a specific type of structural issue, i.e., poorly connected sub-structures in closed box structures, fastFo…

Assembler^3: 3D Reconstruction of Laser-cut Models

We present assembler^3 a software tool that allows users to perform 3D parametric manipulations on 2D laser cutting plans. Assembler^3 achieves this by semi-automatically converting 2D laser cutting plans to 3D, where users modify their models using available 3D tools (kyub), before converting them back to 2D. In our…

SpringFit: Joints and Mounts That Fabricate On Any Laser Cutter

Joints are crucial to laser cutting as they allow making three-dimensional objects; mounts are crucial because they allow embedding technical components, such as motors. Unfortunately, mounts and joints tend to fail when trying to fabricate a model on a different laser cutter or from a different material. In our surve…

Kyub: A 3D Editor for Modeling Sturdy Laser-Cut Objects

We present an interactive editing system for laser cutting called kyub. Kyub allows users to create models efficiently in 3D, which it then unfolds into the 2D plates laser cutters expect. Unlike earlier systems, such as FlatFitFab, kyub affords construction based on closed box structures, which allows users to turn v…
