Fabrication-aware Design with Intersecting Planar Pieces

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Schwartzburg

We propose a computational design approach to generate 3D models composed of interlocking planar pieces. We show how intricate 3D forms can be created by sliding the pieces into each other along straight slits, leading to a simple construction that does no ...

Automatic Generation of Constructable Brick Sculptures

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...
