Title:
- Hierarchical Volumetric Object Representations for Digital Fabrication Workflows
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
With the rise of of desktop 3D printers, hackerspaces, and fab labs, more and more individuals are engaging in personal-scale digital fabrication. For historical reasons, fabrication workflows are often based on triangulated meshes. Meshes are easy to render, but cannot guarantee physical feasibility — holes, zero-area faces, incorrect normals, and other flaws can make them nonsensical descriptions of physical objects.
