Low-Fidelity Fabrication: Speeding up Design Iteration of 3D Objects

摘要: Low-fidelity fabrication systems speed up rapid prototyping by printing intermediate versions of a prototype as fast, low-fidelity previews. Only the final version is fabricated full high-fidelity 3D print. This allows designers to iterate more quickly-achieving better design in less time. Depending on what currently being tested, implemented different ways: (1) faBrickator for modular approach substituting sub-volumes model with building blocks. (2) WirePrint quickly testing shape an object, such ergonomic fit, wireframe structures. (3) Platener preserves technical function print laser-cut plates same size and thickness. At our CHI'15 interactivity booth, we give combined live demo all three systems-putting special focus new system (paper at CHI'15).
