Title: | StackMold: Rapid Prototyping of Functional Multi-Material Objects with Selective Levels of Surface Details | Authors: | Valkeneers Tom LEEN, Danny Ashbrook Daniel RAMAKERS, Raf |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY | Source: | Proceedings of the 32nd ACM User Interface Software and Technology Symposium, p. 687 -699 | Abstract: | We present StackMold, a DIY molding technique to prototype multi-material and multi-colored objects with embedded electronics. The key concept of our approach is a novel multi-stage mold buildup in which casting operations are interleaved with the assembly of the mold to form independent compartments for casting different materials. To build multi-stage molds, we contribute novel algorithms that computationally design and optimize the mold and casting procedure. By default, the multi-stage mold is fabricated in slices using a laser cutter. For regions that require more surface detail, a high-fidelity 3D-printed mold subsection can be incorporated. StackMold is an integrated end-to-end system, supporting all stages of the process: it provides a UI to specify material and detail regions of a 3D object; it generates fabrication files for the molds; and it produces a step-by-step casting instruction manual. | Keywords: | Molding;Computational Design CCS Concepts •Human-centered computing → Interactive systems and tools;Multi material fabrication | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/30315 | ISBN: | 9781450368162 | DOI: | 10.1145/3332165.3347915 | ISI #: | WOS:000518189200055 | Rights: | 2019 ACM | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2021 |
