p5.fab

p5.fab is a p5.js library for digital fabrication. It helps you programmatically author toolpaths for low-level control over your machine!

getting started

• write code to specify toolpaths in the fabDraw() function
• visualize toolpaths with Shift + Enter, or press 'visualize'
• connect your 3D printer over USB and click 'connect'
• start printing your design with Ctrl + Shift + Enter, or press 'start print'!
• check out the examples for more

full documentation is found on the p5.fab wiki and the source code is on github. The development of p5.fab was guided by studies of 3D printer maintenance and evaluated with creative code artists; you can read about that in our paper, if you're interested!
