This project is creating a design paradigm for solid free-form fabrication, based on that for VLSI. Elements of the VLSI paradigm to be translated to the mechanical domain include one-directional information flow, the clear delineation of levels of abstraction, formulation of design rules and design libraries, and the development of intermediate representations for storage and transmission of various levels of abstraction of a design. Several types of structures that are ill-suited to present design methods are the motivation for new languages, libraries, and tools. These include surface textures, functionally gradient materials, and thermally and chemically active materials. All of these structures require instantiation of cells, possibly parameterized, which is not well supported by current languages such as .stl.

该项目是创建一个设计范例，固体自由形式的制造，基于超大规模集成电路。 将被翻译到机械领域的VLSI范例的元素包括单向信息流，抽象层次的清晰划分，设计规则和设计库的制定，以及用于存储和传输设计的各种抽象层次的中间表示的开发。 几种不适合当前设计方法的结构类型是新语言、库和工具的动机。 这些包括表面纹理，功能梯度材料，热和化学活性材料。 所有这些结构都需要实例化单元，可能是参数化的，而当前的语言（如. stl）并不支持这种情况。
