In Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2017: 965-976), Denver, CO, May 6-11, 2017 (Acceptance Rate: 25%)

We propose WireFab, a rapid modeling and prototyping system that uses bent metal wires as the structure framework. WireFab approximates both the skeletal articulation and the skin appearance of the corresponding virtual skin meshes, and it allows...
