Truss Fab: Fabricating Sturdy Large Scale Structures on Desktop 3 D Printers ( CHI17)

If you are interested in trying out our software (beta version), drop us an email contact: TrussFab is an integrated endtoend 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 nodelink structures, also known as trusses.
