Augmented reality takes 3-D printing to next level

Хонхны баяраараа хоногоор зугаалгаар явсан оюутнуудыг архи пиво хэрэглэхийг хориглосон байна. Гэвч маргааш нь 2 охин шал согтуу тасарсан байдалтай олджээ. Учир нь юунд байв?

"Instead of designing 3-D models on the computer screen, we wanted to give users the opportunity to work in conjunction with the robot. We call it in-situ fabrication," said Huaishu Peng, Cornell information science doctoral student.

To use the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), a designer wears an AR headset with hand controllers. As soon as a design feature is completed, the robotic arm prints the new feature.

"The cool thing is that the robot can print the users' design at the same time and place. The designer has this tangible feedback early in the design phase and can make adjustments," said Peng. "The combination of AR and robot allows the designer to use the just-printed part to design their next features. The designer can even directly design and print on an existing physical object. This tightens the process between design and fabrication."
