The core idea is basically the same as that of the Nubian vault, so the core idea is very ancient. One can do this with snow too, to build somewhat surprising structures without having to use supports.
- engineer_22 2y agoI think the problem is developing the algorithms. At least that's what I got from the article. Its still very hacky.

- jopsen 2y agoWhile I really like the idea of enabling 3d printers to do more/better through software. I'll admit that lower complexity might be better. When prototyping maybe it's better to tweak parts a bit for better 3d printing. And rely on simpler slicing tech. More software might not make it more reliable, which is probably a bigger problem. Current limits are annoying, but my 3d printer can still do a LOT I couldn't do before.
