We propose a novel fabrication method for 3D objects based on the principle of spooling. By wrapping off-the-shelf materials such as thread, ribbon, tape or wire onto core structure, new can be created and existing augmented with desired aesthetic functional qualities. Our system, WraPr, enables gesture-based modelling controlled thread deposition. outline explore design space this approach. Various examples are fabricated to demonstrate possibility attain range physical properties. The simplicity proposed opens grounds light-weight approach generation structures customization using soft materials.
