Title: | LamiFold: Fabricating Objects with Integrated Mechanisms Using a Laser cutter Lamination Workflow 2020 | Authors: | LEEN, Danny peek, Nadya RAMAKERS, Raf |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | ACM | Source: | proceedings UIST 2020, ACM, p. 304-316 | Abstract: | We present LamiFold, a novel design and fabrication work-flow for making functional mechanical objects using a laser cutter. Objects fabricated with LamiFold embed advanced rotary , linear, and chained mechanisms, including linkages that support fine-tuning and locking position. Laser cutting such mechanisms without LamiFold requires designing for and embedding off-the-shelf parts such as springs, bolts, and axles for gears. The key to laser cutting our functional mechanisms is the selective cutting and gluing of stacks of sheet material. Designing mechanisms for this workflow is non-trivial, therefore we contribute a set of mechanical primitives that are compatible with our lamination workflow and can be combined to realize advanced mechanical systems. Our software design environment facilitates the process of inserting and composing our mechanical primitives and realizing functional laser-cut objects. | Keywords: | Author Keywords Personal Fabrication;Lamination;Mechanical Design;CAD CCS Concepts •Human-centered computing → Interactive systems and tools;•Applied computing → Computer-aided manufac- turing | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31859 | ISBN: | 978-1-4503-7514-6 | DOI: | 10.1145/3379337.3415885 | Rights: | classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
