Interactive Digital Fabrication Machine Control Directly Within a CAD Environment

Programming Fine Manufacturing Tasks on Collaborative Robots: A Case Study on Industrial Gluing

“…Using this approach, the operator can create robot programs which consist of both automatically and manually taught motions. Fossdal et al (2021) present an approach for machine control from a CAD environment. The idea behind their approach is to shorten the feedback loop between user input in software and machine output/performance, such that the operator can quickly gain understanding on how the machine/robot actions their intent, and thus make for a steep learning curve of how to specify their intent in software to achieve the desired result on the machine/robot.…”

p5.fab: Direct Control of Digital Fabrication Machines from a Creative Coding Environment

“…LINC begins with manual sketching practice to generate toolpaths; p5.fab offers programmatic control to cater to the precise nature of tuning work. Fossdal et al [11] contribute software to control a custom digital fabrication machine alongside an evaluation with a professional artist. Similarly focused on enabling toolpath control, their system centers expert practitioners by augmenting their CAD working environment, thereby relying on their expertise in CAD.…”
