Sketch-based pipeline for mass customization.

We present a novel application workflow to physically produce personalized objects by relying on the sketch-based input metaphor. This is achieved by combining different sketch-based retrieval and modeling aspects and optimizing the output for 3D printing technologies. The workflow starts from a user drawn 2D sketch that is used to query a large 3D shape database. A simple but powerful sketch-based modeling technique is employed to modify the result from the query. Taking into account the limitations of the additive manufacturing process we define a fabrication constraint deformation to produce personalized 3D printed objects.
