Thank you! Yes the scale can be a bit of a struggle. I exported the cut lines from Fusion as a dxf file, imported to illustrator by setting the unit to millimeters, re-orged everything on multiple letter size artboards and printed at original scale

them: so why use CAD software
me: have you thought about the use case of making your own mushroom hat for Halloween
Dr. Jennifer Jacobs and Shm Almeda in front of a projector that reads The Design of Technology by and for Artistic Worlds in the Expressive Computation Lab space at UC Santa Barbara.
I have always so deeply admired Dr. Jennifer Jacobs and the amazing, critical work the Expressive Computation Lab is doing @UCSB's Media Arts & Technology Dept.… what an honor & a dream come true to share my work with them! 😭❣️

Today we’ll be showing clay printing and artifacts from our research again at our course on Computational Craft 2-5pm @ #SIGGRAPH2025
If you can’t make it to the whole thing, demos will be 4.30-5pm
Packed this little guy up for #SIGGRAPH2025
Come to our course on Computational Craft, Wed 2-5 to see it in action!

RECOMMENDATIONS For Authors: Report hardware used in papers. Consider mid-to-low-end hardware as further opportunities to optimize algorithms. For Institutions: Develop performance metrics that incentivize using low-end hardware. Develop supra-local testing infrastructures with a range of heterogeneous, multi-generational hardware. OPEN DISCUSSION By developing and disseminating methods optimized to work on new hardware, are we actively encouraging premature hardware obsolescence among end-users? By necessitating compute clusters to run our algorithms (the 2nd most-cited GPU is a data center GPU), are we consolidating the dependency of individual users on privatized “cloud” services?
We are looking forward to opening up the discussion to the community!
Please join us in Vancouver >> s2025.conference-schedule.org/presentation...
We find that GPUs used in research papers (white dots in graph) are consistently higher-end GPUs. 87% of GPUs reported in research papers (above blue line) are available to less than 20% of the consumer-level user base at publication time. A stacked bar chart shows GPU usage among the general user-base, and white dots represent GPUs used in research papers.
Our quantitative analysis of papers let us question what GPUs people use for graphics research, and how that compares to general consumers' hardware.

Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) are at the core of Computer Graphics research. These chips are critical for rendering images, processing geometric data, and training machine learning models. Yet, the production and disposal of GPUs emits CO2 and results in toxic e-waste [1].
METHOD
We surveyed 888 papers presented at SIGGRAPH (premier conference for computer graphics research), from 2018 to 2024, and systematically gathered GPU models cited in the text.
We then contextualize the hardware reported in papers with publicly available data of consumers’ hardware [2, 3].

Ever wondered how badly we're all addicted to buying new GPUs in graphics labs?
Come see our talk at #SIGGRAPH2025 to discuss how we can collectively move "Towards a sustainable use of GPUs in Graphics Research"
with @elie-michel.bsky.social @axelparis.bsky.social Octave Crespel and Felix Hähnlein
Congrats on the great work! I will see you in Vancouver then?? 🫶

Picture of a stage at SIGGRAPH Asia, where we receive the Honorable Mention Award
🏆 So honored that our paper received the Honorable Mention #Award at #SIGGRAPHAsia!
I really like this paper BTW, it is about procedural #SignedDistanceFields, a simple idea to #differentiate them and thus provide #DirectManipulation ✨
