Towards Augmented Fabrication: Combining Fabricated and Existing Objects

Authors Info & Claims
Published:07 May 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

One of the main uses for digital fabrication systems is fabrication for use with existing objects. We call this paradigm "augmented fabrication." In this paper, we discuss the types of augmented fabrication activities that can take place, situate previous work into this context, and introduce Printy, an augmented fabrication system that allows novice users to fabricate fully-functional Internet-connected objects.
