Low-Fidelity Fabrication

Abstract

Low-fidelity fabrication systems speed up rapid prototyping by printing intermediate versions of a prototype as fast, low-fidelity previews. Only the final version is fabricated as a full high-fidelity 3D print. This allows designers to iterate more quickly-achieving a better design in less time. Depending on what is currently being tested, low-fidelity fabrication is implemented in different ways: (1) faBrickator allows for a modular approach by substituting sub-volumes of the 3D model with building blocks. (2) WirePrint allows for quickly testing the shape of an object, such as the ergonomic fit, by printing wireframe structures. (3) Platener preserves the technical function by substituting 3D print with laser-cut plates of the same size and thickness.At our CHI'15 interactivity booth, we give a combined live demo of all three low-fidelity fabrication systemsputting special focus on our new low-fidelity fabrication system Platener (paper at CHI'15).

“…Posteriormente se cubre con un material para lograr la superficies deseada. Este trabajo está basado en el concepto low-fidelity (Mueller et al, 2014), (Mueller et al, 2015), que es un término muy utilizado en los objetos a gran escala que no requieren de unos acabados perfectos a una escala de micras, sino de milímetros.…”
