Interactive Fabrication of Functional Mechanical Devices

Category c++ Featured Java Members Other People , , Posted on:

Created by Stefanie Mueller, Pedro Lopes, and Patrick Baudisch at Hasso Plattner Institute - Potsdam, the project introduces a new way of working with fabrication tools such as laser cutters and 3D printers by removing the CAD system from the process. Using a hand-held laser pointer, the constructable - an interactive drafting table, allows users to interact directly with the laser cutter by drafting directly on the workpiece.
