“…We therefore do not recommend using glue that expands while curing. To precisely deposit the correct amount of glue, future versions of Lamifold could leverage novel multi-purpose machines that can deposit substances, such as glue [35]. These machines could also significantly reduce the manual fabrication effort of LamiFold.…”

We present LamiFold, a novel design and fabrication workflow 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.

“…Various approaches to expand the capabilities of desktop FFF 3D printers have been proposed with this in mind. For instance, Jubilee [24] introduced an open source desktop tool changing machine that can combine 3D printing with other processes, such as plotting and syringe writing. Jubilee can be built with readily available parts and comprehensive assembly instructions are provided.…”

“…Within HCI research, various techniques and tools have been introduced to expand the capability of desktop FFF 3D printing. Researchers have implemented tool changing mechanisms to combine various tools and materials within a single build environment [22,24], developed new methods of multi-material 3D printing [21] and developed custom software for various novel approaches to 3D printer toolpath generation [18]. While the planar layer construction of FFF simplifies the mechanical design of the 3D printer and the computation of the toolpath, the finished products often exhibit unfavourable characteristics such as visible layers, rough surface finishes, uneven mechanical properties and the inclusion of sacrificial support material.…”

The common layer-by-layer deposition of regular, 3-axis 3D printing simplifies both the fabrication process and the 3D printer's mechanical design. However, the resulting 3D printed objects have some unfavourable characteristics including visible layers, uneven structural strength and support material. To overcome these, researchers have employed robotic arms and multi-axis CNCs to deposit materials in conformal layers. Conformal deposition improves the quality of the 3D printed parts through support-less printing and curved layer deposition. However, such multi-axis 3D printing is inaccessible to many individuals due to high costs and technical complexities. Furthermore, the limited GUI support for conformal slicers creates an additional barrier for users. To open multi-axis 3D printing up to more makers and researchers, we present a cheap and accessible way to upgrade a regular 3D printer to 5 axes. We have also developed a GUI-based conformal slicer, integrated within a popular CAD package. Together, these deliver an accessible workflow for designing, simulating and creating conformally-printed 3D models. CCS CONCEPTS• Hardware → Emerging technologies.

“…These multiple colors are mixed and provide almost full color gamut, according to the programmed melting ratio. Jubilee is an open-source toolkit to enable automated tool-changing for material explorations [39]. For typical home users, researchers also developed a low-cost technique, by manually changing a filament with pause-and-resume [20].…”
