Contribution formats¶
We invite contributors from academia, practice, activism and any other communities interested in workshop goals. There are three formats for contribution:
- Position Papers outlining positions, stances and perspectives on 3D printing, digital fabrication and education and/or the common good. Position Papers should be 1-3 pages in ACM SigConf format.
- Case studies describing interesting, novel, provocative or otherwise relevant cases of 3D printing and/or digital fabrication and education and/or the common good. Case studies should be 4 pages maximum in ACM extended abstract format.
- Demos and hands-on artifacts/projects for the extended break. We ask for a brief description (2-3 sentences) of what you intend to bring with you as well as one photo (or sketch, drawing,...). If your demo has special requirements, please also outline them.
