WireTruss: A Fast-Modifiable Prototyping Method Through 3D Printing
Adjunct Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface …, 2020•dl.acm.org
Digital fabrication allows users to produce physical objects from digital models. However,
conventional fabrication processes are mostly irreversible: once an object is fabricated, it is
detached from its original virtual model and cannot be physically changed. In this work, we
propose WireTruss, a novel approach for rapid prototyping truss mesh structures, which can
be rapidly fabricated, easily assembled and manually modified to support an intuitive design
iteration. We developed a parametric design tool that first simplifies the object into a truss …

Digital fabrication allows users to produce physical objects from digital models. However, conventional fabrication processes are mostly irreversible: once an object is fabricated, it is detached from its original virtual model and cannot be physically changed. In this work, we propose WireTruss, a novel approach for rapid prototyping truss mesh structures, which can be rapidly fabricated, easily assembled and manually modified to support an intuitive design iteration. We developed a parametric design tool that first simplifies the object into a truss graph composed of multi-way joints, and then calculates the route of the wire which is inherently a Euler path. Furthermore, WireTruss can be demonstrated its practical usability through a series of application cases.
