Interactive fabrication: new interfaces for digital fabrication

Authors Info & Claims
Published:22 January 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a series of prototype devices that use real-time input to fabricate physical form: Interactive Fabrication. Our work maps out the problem space of real-time control for digital fabrication devices, and examines where alternative interfaces for digital fabrication are relevant. We conclude by reflecting upon the potential of interactive fabrication and outline a number of considerations for future research in this area.
