This paper presents the design and outcomes of SketchPath, a system that uses hand-
drawn toolpaths to design for clay 3D printing. Drawing, as a direct manipulation technique …

Building new software tools for professional digital fabrication requires that HCI researchers
understand domain-specific materials and fabrication workflows to ensure software …

New digital fabrication workflows require both software development and digital/physical
material exploration. To support digital fabrication workflow development, we contribute …

HCI scholars are increasingly engaging in research about “marginalized groups,” such as
LGBTQ+ people. While normative habitual readings of marginalized people in HCI often …

Skilled potters use manual tools with direct material engagement. In contrast, the design of
clay 3D printers and workflows reinforces industrial CNC manufacturing conventions. To …

Devices for digital fabrication are becoming increasingly smaller and more portable,
enabling digital fabrication research to move into new environments. In this exploratory …

Material selection in additive manufacturing (AM) is typically driven by the need to meet
specific functional characteristics, often resulting in objects with limited user experiential …

Anyone who has watched a child play with soft semi-liquid materials like honey, frosting, or
slime, sees the fascinating interplay between design and physics. Many of us remember …

Digital fabrication software supports common activities like designing models and setting
parameters. However, the increasing diversity of fabrication materials and contexts means …
