Abstract
Example implementations may relate to interactive object fabrication. In particular, a control system may receive model data defining a 3D shape of a physical object that is fabricable out of a substrate at a work site. The system may then direct a projection system to emit onto the substrate a projection illustrative of the 3D shape defined by the model data. Also, the system may transmit, to a robotic system, fabrication instructions that direct the robotic system to fabricate the physical object in accordance with the model data. subsequently, during fabrication of the physical object, the system may (i) receive progress data indicative of a portion of the physical object that has been fabricated from the substrate, and (ii) direct the projection system to update the projection of the 3D shape to remove a portion of the projection corresponding to the portion of the physical object that has been fabricated.
