机器切割对象的设计者必须经常考虑是否以及如何用现有的材料来制造他们的设计。与支持为制造准备成品设计的工具相反，我们研究缩短设计创建和制造准备之间的反馈循环。为此，我们提出了Fabricaide，这是一个制造感知工具，它交织了创建和准备制造设计的过程。通过提供关于零件应如何放置在材料表上的实时反馈，分析消耗了多少材料，并在设计不可行时提醒用户，Fabricaide使用户能够主动根据可用材料定制设计。Fabricaide通过一种定制的包装算法实现了这一点，该算法以交互速度将零件排列到材料表上。我们的定性用户研究展示了Fabricaide如何支持不同的工作流程，鼓励注重材料的设计实践，并提供了如何在未来进一步改进类似界面的见解。
Designers of machine-cut objects must often consider whether and how their design can be fabricated with their available materials. In contrast to tools that support preparing finished designs for fabrication, we investigate shortening the feedback loop between design creation and fabrication preparation. To this end, we present Fabricaide, a fabrication-aware tool that interleaves the processes of creating and preparing designs for fabrication. By providing live feedback on how parts should be placed onto material sheets, analyzing how much material is consumed, and alerting users when designs are infeasible, Fabricaide enables users to proactively tailor their design to their available material. Fabricaide achieves this with a custom packing algorithm that arranges parts onto material sheets at interactive speeds. Our qualitative user study shows how Fabricaide can support different workflows, encourage material-conscious design practices, and provide insights on how to further improve similar interfaces in the future.
