Abstract: Additive fabrication (3D printing) presents a range of unique challenges and opportunities for computational design. One of the distinctive features of additive fabrication is effectively free complexity, making it possible to use complex small-scale structures to achieve various design goals. However designing such structures manually is difficult or impossible, and automated methods are needed. Another feature of additive fabrication is a short design-to-fabrication pipeline, enabling many people without professional modeling and engineering experience to create unique and customized products. Yet most design software do not have accessible and intuitive tools helping users to produce designs that are manufacturable and have expected physical behavior. I will describe our work aiming to develop methods addressing these problems.
