AirForce: Personal Fabrication of Large-Scale, Load-Bearing Animatronics Structures from a Single Tube

We present a fabrication system called AirForce that allows users to create large-scale, load-bearing animated structures from a single inflatable tube. AirForce builds on the personal fabrication of animated truss structures, based on which it replaces not only the static elements with tube, but also introduces tube-…

SustainaPrint: Making the Most of Eco-Friendly Filaments

We present SustainaPrint, a system for integrating eco-friendly filaments into 3D printing without compromising structural integrity. While biodegradable and recycled 3D printing filaments offer environmental benefits, there is a trade-off in using them as they may suffer from degraded or unpredictable mechanical prop…

Mallet-Based Assembly: Enabling Load-Bearing Laser-Cut Models

Laser cutting has a long tradition of building load-bearing 3D objects based on box joints and T-joints, as these joints are naturally robust against compression and shearing. Achieving robustness against tension, however, is challenging. One presumed solution is to make all joints extremely tight, to the point where…

AirTied: Automatic Personal Fabrication of Truss Structures

We present AirTied, a device that fabricates truss structures in a fully automatic fashion. AirTied achieves this by un-rolling a 20cm-wide inflatable plastic tube and tying nodes into it. AirTied creates nodes by holding onto a segment of tube, stacking additional tube segments on top of it, tying them up, and releas…

Kerfmeter: Automatic Kerf Calibration for Laser Cutting

We present Kerfmeter, a hardware + software device that automatically determines how much material the laser cutter burns off, also known as kerf. Its knowledge about kerf allows Kerfmeter to make the joints of laser cut 3D models fit together with just the right tension, i.e., loose enough to allow for comfortable as…

HingeCore: Laser-Cut Foamcore for Fast Assembly

We present HingeCore, a novel type of laser-cut 3D structure made from sandwich materials, such as foamcore. The key design element behind HingeCore is what we call a finger hinge, which we produce by laser-cutting foamcore “half-way”. The primary benefit of finger hinges is that they allow for very fast assembly, as…

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’…

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…

Kerf-Canceling Mechanisms: Making Laser-Cut Mechanisms Operate across Different Laser Cutters

Getting laser-cut mechanisms, such as those in microscopes, robots, vehicles, etc., to work, requires all their components to be dimensioned precisely. This precision, however, tends to be lost when fabricating on a different laser cutter, as it is likely to remove more or less material (aka “kerf”). We address this w…
