Over recent years, there has been significant research within HCI towards free-form physical
interactive devices. However, such devices are not straightforward to design, produce and …

Extended Reality (XR) allows in-situ previewing of designs to be manufactured through
Personal Fabrication (PF). These in-situ interactions exhibit advantages for PF, like …

Personal fabrication is made more accessible through repositories like Thingiverse, as they
replace modeling with retrieval. However, they require users to translate spatial …

Besides sketching in mid-air, Augmented Reality (AR) lets users sketch 3D designs directly
attached to existing physical objects. These objects provide natural haptic feedback …

3D-printers enable end-users to design and fabricate unique physical artifacts but maintain
an increased entry barrier and friction. End users must design tangible artifacts through …

Augmented fabrication is the practice of designing and fabricating an artifact to work with
existing objects. Although common both in the wild and as an area for research tools, little is …

The accessibility of tools to model artifacts is one of the core driving factors for the adoption
of Personal Fabrication. Subsequently, model repositories like Thingiverse became …

The tools for personal digital fabrication (DF) are on the verge of reaching mass-adoption
beyond technology enthusiasts, empowering consumers to fabricate personalized artifacts …

ExpandFab is a fabrication method for creating expanding objects using foam materials. The
printed objects change their shape and volume, which is advantageous for reducing the …

The ecology of thermoplastic materials is rapidly evolving, enabling an exciting landscape of
functional, aesthetic, and interactive forms. Despite their utility in fused filament fabrication …
