Laser cutting is widely used by industrial designers and mechanical engineers as a rapid modeling tool. However, designing and fabricating laser cut assemblies can be a complex and tedious process, especially for novice designers. Through our research, we developed Joinery, a parametric joint generation tool for laser cut assemblies. Through Joinery, designers simply define connections between parts of an assembly, while the system generates the joints. Joinery supports fabrication-aware design through six different joint profiles that cater to different material and design needs. In this paper, we illustrate the use of Joinery as a creativity support tool in an industrial design process, and present several artifacts resulting from the tool. In addition, we discuss our findings from deploying this system in a college-level industrial design class. |
