The prolog thing sounds brilliant but I can’t quite see how it would work. Any insight?

- timonoko 5y agoFor example: You could enter some fragile object and then let the Prolog search for best shape of box for it. Only problem is that all (most?) Prologs suck, the realm of natural numbers is not in the search space. In this case there is also good cause to limit this realm by available printing area and accuracy.
- sprior 5y agoYeah the Prolog part would probably have to just do a yes/no analysis of whether the proposed solution is even a candidate, but then maybe something else would score the quality of the remaining candidates.
- sprior 5y agoAnother possibility might be using Prolog's list/object composing ability. As a fun example let's imagine that you have a Flintstone's AirBNB. You write Prolog code to capture some pieces like a weather forecast icon and a headline or two, then compose that into a design that looks like this info on a stone tablet and send it to the printer loaded with marble colored filament, then have it on the table with breakfast.
