About

Patrick Baudisch is a pioneer in human-computer interaction and personal fabrication, whose work redefines how we create and interact with physical objects. His research spans interactive fabrication, 3D printing, and laser-cutting technologies, with a focus on making large-scale, precise, and dynamic structures accessible to everyday users. Baudisch’s major contributions include the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), an AR-driven system that enables concurrent design and 3D printing, allowing creators to see their ideas take shape in real time. He also developed TrussFormer, an end-to-end system for 3D printing large-scale kinetic structures that can handle motion and dynamic forces, building on his earlier TrussFab work. His kerf-canceling mechanisms solve a critical precision problem in laser cutting, ensuring components work across different machines. With over 166 citations for RoMA alone, Baudisch’s impact is evident in his ability to bridge digital design and physical fabrication. His work has been widely recognized in the HCI community, and he continues to push boundaries by integrating robotics, AR, and material science into fabrication tools that empower both researchers and makers.
