Digital fabrication devices are powerful tools for creating tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Most available printing technologies aim at producing an accurate copy of a tridimensional shape. However, fabrication technologies can also be used to create a stylistic representation of a digital shape. We refer to this class of methods as ‘stylized fabrication methods’. These methods abstract geometric and physical features of a given shape to create an unconventional representation, to produce an optical illusion or to devise a particular interaction with the fabricated model. In this state‐of‐the‐art report, we classify and overview this broad and emerging class of approaches and also propose possible directions for future research.

“…In recent years, with growing interest in customized fabrication, various approaches have been proposed for computational design and fabrication. and Ceylan et al [2013] support gear-driven computational rigging for humanoid characters, Song et al [2013] support design of selfsupporting reciprocal structures, Deuss et al [2014] propose construction sequences along with intermediate support structures for constructing self-supporting structures, Garg et al [2014] create freeform surfaces supported by woven wires, Mellado et al [2014] explore construction sequences for easy installation of reciprocal structures, Pérez et al [2015] support design and fabrication of flexible meshes, while Koo et al [2016] propose design refinements to reduce wastage of materials due to offcuts in plank-based furniture.…”

String Actuated Curved Folded Surfaces

e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e Fig. 1: The top row shows a crease pattern together with the strings S = {a, b, c, d, e} computed by our algorithm and simulation of the induced, string driven folding motion. The bottom row shows a physical realization of the same crease pattern as a thin aluminum sheet. Each string is realized as a strand of colored thread. Strings are collected at a single anchor point and folding is driven by pulling the threads.Curved folded surfaces, given their ability to produce elegant freeform shapes by folding flat sheets etched with curved creases, hold a special place in computational Origami. Artists and designers have proposed a wide variety of different fold patterns to create a range of interesting surfaces. The creative process, design as well as fabrication, is usually only concerned with the static surface that emerges once folding has completed. Folding such patterns, however, is difficult as multiple creases have to be folded simultaneously to obtain a properly folded target shape. We introduce string actuated curved folded surfaces that can be shaped by pulling a network of strings thus vastly simplifying the process of creating such surfaces and making the folding motion an integral part of the design. Technically, we solve the problem of which surface points to string together and how to actuate them by locally expressing a desired folding path in the space of isometric shape deformations in terms of novel string actuation modes. We demonstrate the validity of our apMartin Kilian was supported by the Erwin Schrödinger fellowship J-3678-N25 awarded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), ERC StG-2013-335373, and the DFGCollaborative Research Center, TRR 109, 'Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics' through grant I-706-N26 of FWF.

“…Wire meshes are grid shells made of metal that can be bent and tied together to approximate freeform shapes. While in the past these kinds of structures were created manually, using an incremental trial‐and‐error approach, the method proposed by Garg and colleagues [GSFD*14] defines an automatic framework that bounds the overall approximation error. A wire mesh constitutes a valid accurate representation of an input shape (as shown by Figure ) with relatively low production costs.…”

Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from several restrictions, accuracy in reproduction has reached an excellent level. The manufacturing industry has been the main domain of 3D printing applications over the last decade. Digital fabrication techniques have also been demonstrated to be effective in many other contexts, including the consumer domain. The Cultural Heritage is one of the new application contexts and is an ideal domain to test the flexibility and quality of this new technology. This survey overviews the various fabrication technologies, discussing their strengths, limitations and costs. Various successful uses of 3D printing in the Cultural Heritage are analysed, which should also be useful for other application contexts. We review works that have attempted to extend fabrication technologies in order to deal with the specific issues in the use of digital fabrication in the Cultural Heritage. Finally, we also propose areas for future research.
