  As humans, we regularly associate shape of an object with its built material.
In the context of geometric modeling, however, this interrelation between form
and material is rarely explored. In this work, we propose a novel data-driven
reforming (i.e., reshaping) algorithm that adapts an input multi-component
model for a target fabrication material. The algorithm adapts both the part
geometry and the inter-part topology of the input shape to better align with
material specific fabrication requirements. As output, we produce the reshaped
model along with respective part dimensions and inter-part junction
specifications. We evaluate our algorithm on a range of man-made models and
demonstrate non-trivial model reshaping examples focusing only on metal and
wooden materials. We also appraise the output of our algorithm using a user
study.
