  • Abstract
    The FlatCAD system lets you create physical construction kits by coding in the LOGO-like FlatLang language. Designers often use structured CAD tools to specify physical form. Programming offers an alternative and powerful method for designing shapes. This paper describes our experimental domain-specific language used to program and manufacture physical shape in the domain of construction kits.
