Code to Craft: Procedural Generation for the Physical World

Day 2 23:55 One en Art & Beauty
Dec. 28, 2025 23:55-00:35
Join bleeptrack for a deep dive into the fascinating world of procedural generation beyond the screen. From stickers and paper lanterns to PCBs, furniture, and even physical procedural generators, this talk explores the challenges and creative possibilities of bringing generative projects into tangible form.

I would like to share my experience in creating procgen tools/generators for physical objects (like stickers, paper lanters, PCBs or even furniture) or even making a physical procedural generator! I will explain challenges and things to consider when generating for lasercutters or pen plotters, but also what to consider when the procedural artifacts should be easy to recreate by everyone (sadly not everyone has a lasercutter or a cnc machine). Also I would like to inspire people to bring their own cool generative projects to a physical form and want to encourage open sourcing and sharing their work.
