- This digital fabrication method for large 3D objects combines 3D printing and laser cutting to address a major limitation of existing 3D printing approaches: the material costs and printing time grow cubically with respect to object dimensions. Our method can produce objects more than 1 meter high and reduce fabrication time and material costs by more than 50% compared to baseline 3D printing approaches. The work was presented as a technical paper in SIGGRAPH 2016 (https://sutd-cgl.github.io/supp/Publication/projects/2016-SIGGRAPH-CofiFab/index.html). Citations show that it has been noted by contributions to additive manufacturing (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2018.04.018), design (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.13146) and fabrication in engineering (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1561/1100000055).
