Computational Thermoforming

Accompanying video to the technical paper “Computational Thermoforming“ by Christian Schüller, Daniele Panozzo, Anselm Grundhöfer, Henning Zimmer, Evgeni Sorkine, Olga Sorkine-Hornung SIGGRAPH 2016 Abstract: We propose a method to fabricate textured 3D models using thermoforming. Differently from industrial techniques, which target mass production of a specific shape, we propose a combined hardware and software solution to manufacture customized, unique objects. Our method simulates the forming process an
