Low-fidelity Fabrication: Fast Fabrication of 3D Objects

Low-fidelity fabrication systems speed up rapid prototyping by printing intermediate versions of a prototype as fast, low-fidelity previews. Only the final version is fabricated as a full high-fidelity 3D print. This allows designers to iterate more quickly-achieving a better design in less time. Depending on what is currently being tested, low-fidelity fabrication is implemented in different ways: (1) faBrickator allows for a modular approach by substituting sub-volumes of the 3D model with building blocks. (2) WirePrint allows for quickly testing the shape of an object, such as the ergonomic fit, by printing wireframe structures. (3) Platener preserves the technical function by substituting 3D print with laser-cut plates of the same size and thickness.

I like the fact that you can save 10 time the printing time and 100x the iteration/creation process!!!
You can also dig it into a white glue or some thick paint to close the intercells and make a watertight object!

It is now availlable on the free slicing software CURA. "WIRE PRINT", within the "experimental" options.

Supercool, so was sieht man nicht alle Tage. Ist die Software auch öffentlich als OSS oder käuflich verfügbar?
