We present RodSteward , a design‐to‐assembly system for creating furniture‐scale structures composed of 3D‐printed joints and precision‐cut rods. The RodSteward systems consists of: RSDesigner , a fabrication‐aware design interface that visualizes accurate geometries during edits and identifies infeasible designs; physical fabrication of parts automatically generated 3D‐printable joint geometries and cutting plans for rods; and RSAssembler , a guided‐assembly interface that prompts the user to place parts in order while showing a focus+context visualization of the assembly in progress. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our tools with a number of example constructions of varying complexity, style and parameter choices.
