Computational Design and Fabrication

چکیده
Computer graphics research is increasingly interested in the high-level analysis and processing of geometric objects. The focus is more on the objects’ structure, semantics, and even functionalities than their geometric details. By acquiring a structural or functional understanding of 3D shapes, researchers are able to tackle midto high-level design problems for which machine computations can replace or at least relieve human efforts. In parallel, with the rapid advances in 3D printing technologies, many design solutions explored by researchers and practitioners are focusing on the needs and constraints arising from physical fabrication. Methods that combine interactive design and digital fabrication have also been developed to enable novice users to use these tools without advanced domain knowledge. The intricate connections between design and fabrication, along with strong interests from both graphics researchers and industry in developing computational approaches to both problems, provide the motivation for this special issue of CG&A. This special issue received contributions from both academia and industrial research labs. All four accepted articles are cross-disciplinary, connecting physical fabrication with design and processing tasks in new domains including circuit design, geospatial visualization, and 3D scanning, leading to never-before-seen 3D printing applications. Another common theme shared by the articles is that they all contain an interaction component, allowing human users to remain in the design and manufacturing loop to improve the efficiency of the overall workflow.
