Sequential Support

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a different perspective on the use of support material: rather than printing support structures for overhangs, our idea is to make use of its transient nature, i.e. the fact that it can be dissolved when placed in a solvent, such as water. This enables a range of new use cases, such as quickly dissolving and replacing parts of a prototype during design iteration, printing temporary assembly labels directly on the object that leave no marks when dissolved, and creating time-dependent m… Show more

“…For instance, using simulation as a backend engine, Ion et al [16] enabled users to create complex Metamaterial Mechanisms [15], [35,43] can optimally embed electronic components into 3D printed objects, and AutoConnect [19] empowered users to create 3D printable and robust connectors. Sequential Support [28] also used simulations to harness time-dependent material dissolution as a fabrication strategy. Situated among this literature, we believe that SimuLearn's speed and accuracy will allow available CAD tools to become more augmentative and effective in forward and inverse design tasks.…”

“…Exploiting flexible thermoplastic such as TPU, through the different buckling behaviors of heterogeneous materials when attached together, the transformation of a flat sheet into a sophisticated 3D shape has become available for desktop 3D printers [2]. Use of water-soluble material with regular plastic further expanded application scenarios of 3D printed artifacts, such as optically identifiable object [18], object with wash-away assembly keys [23] and more. Nonetheless, these approaches have mostly been possible with advanced hardware, which still presents numerous practical issues, listed above.…”
