Abstract:
1. A computer system implemented method for automated fabrication comprising the steps of: fabricating materials and objects using a computer system connected to one or more automated fabrication systems, each of the one or more automated fabrication systems comprising one or more devices, the computer system including a processor, a program, a non-transient computer readable memory and a user interface, the program executed by the processor of the computer system, said fabricating step further comprising the steps of: receiving through a user interface a set of commands for automatically fabricating one or more physical objects by the one or more automated fabrication systems, wherein the receiving step further comprises the step of storing by the processor the set of commands within the non-transient computer readable memory; parsing by the processor the set of commands for automatically fabricating the one or more physical objects; predicting automatically by the processor one or more input materials needed for automatically fabricating the one or more physical objects, wherein the one or more input materials needed is based on said parsing step; identifying automatically by the processor the one or more devices of the one or more automated fabrication systems needed to fulfill the set of commands for automatically fabricating the one or more physical objects, wherein the one or more devices needed is based on said parsing step; generating by the processor one or more sequences of instructions, wherein the one or more sequences of instructions are based on said determining step and said identifying step; transmitting from the processor to the one or more devices of the one or more automated fabrication systems the one or more sequences of instructions; executing by the one or more devices of the one or more automated fabrication systems the one or more sequences of instructions, wherein said executing step further comprises the step of retrieving the one or more input materials needed to automatically fabricate the one or more physical objects; and creating by the one or more devices of the one or more automated fabrication systems the one or more physical objects to obtain one or more fabricated physical objects, wherein the one or more fabricated physical objects includes at least one fabricated material different than any of the one or more input materials.
