Even though considered a rapid prototyping tool, 3D printing
is so slow that a reasonably sized object requires printing
overnight. This slows designers down to a single iteration
per day. In this paper, we propose to instead print lowfidelity
wireframe previews in the early stages of the design
process. Wireframe previews are 3D prints in which surfaces
have been replaced with a wireframe mesh. Since
wireframe previews are to scale and represent the overall
shape of the 3D object, they allow users to quickly verify
key aspects of their 3D design, such as the ergonomic fit.
