TrussFab: Fabricating Sturdy Large-Scale Structures on Desktop 3D Printers (CHI’17)

If you are interested in trying out our software (beta version), drop us an email! contact: @ TrussFab is an integrated end-to-end system that allows users to fabricate large scale structures that are sturdy enough to carry human weight. TrussFab achieves the large scale by complementing 3D print with plastic bottles. It does not use these bottles as “bricks” though, but as beams that form structurally sound node-link structures, also known as trusses.
