Pushing Fabrication Research past the Makers

Published:19 April 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this demonstration, we show a selection of twelve past CHI and UIST projects by our lab, which taken together aim at helping the field of digital fabrication using laser cutters transition past makers—and towards true non-experts, which we refer to as “consumers”. Our software systems provide such non-experts with domain knowledge (Kyub and fastForce), hardware and machine knowledge (Constructable, LaserOrigami, LaserStacker, springFit, kerf-canceling mechanisms, Assembler3 and autoAssembler), assembling laser-cut objects (FoolProofJoint, Roadkill, HingeCore) and demonstrate our contributions in solving these challenges over the course of twelve projects during the last few years.
