Submission Details
Timeline All deadlines are AOE on the listed date.
Platform All submission materials must be submitted electronically to EasyChair. Select the "ACM SCF 2023 Full Papers" track.
Length There is no paper length limit or requirement; however, reviewers will be instructed to consider the paper's contribution relative to its length. Previous SCF technical papers have been 5,000-10,000 words in length.
Anonymity Submissions should be anonymized for double-blind review. Authors must remove their names and affiliations throughout all submission materials (paper and any supplementary material). De-anonymized papers will be desk rejected.
Format Follow the ACM SIGGRAPH Instructions for Authors.

If using LaTeX, use the Overleaf template or the acmart package with the parameters \documentclass[manuscript,anonymous,review]{acmart}.

If using Word, use this template.

In either case, we accept either single or double-column formats for reviewing. Upon acceptance we will publish using the single column TAPS process.
ACM Publication Policy By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.
ORCID ID Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.

Demos

Demos are an exciting way to show current computational fabrication research at SCF -- whether through a poster, an interactive example session with a new tool, and/or any other format that fits your project best!

We invite the SCF community to submit work, including work-in-progress, to the curated and non-archival Demo track. Demoers will present their work in-person in New York City during SCF! We strongly encourage students and junior researchers to present their work to the SCF community during the demo session.

Submission Details
Timeline Demo submissions are due at t AOE on Monday September 22nd.
Platform All submission materials must be submitted electronically to EasyChair. Select the "ACM SCF 2023 Demo Track".
Format Demo submissions should be max 2 pages long, should not be anonymized, and should use the ACM 2-column format from the ACM Overleaf template.

In your demo submission, include a section named "Demo Requirements" which describe the physical demo you would bring to SCF '23 NYC/what conference attendees would experience and any requirements you have (e.g., table space, poster stand, electricity, lighting conditions).
Acceptance The demo track is juried. Although we aim to accept as many demos as possible, we do have a limited amount of space available for our *physical and in-person conference*! We will announce accepted demos by September 29th.
Presentation Demoers will present their work in-person in NYC during SCF!

We expect that most Demoers will bring a Poster and some other form of demonstration (software demo, manufactured samples, etc.), but Demos can take on many different formats, so feel free to design the experience that exhibits your project best!

To help us ensure that we have the right accomodations for you, please make sure you describe your chosen presentation format and anything it requires in the "Demo Requirements" section of your submission.

Sketch Talks

The multidisciplinary nature of SCF lends itself well as a podium to see how other communities respond to new ideas and work you are thinking to explore. The Sketch Talk track provides a podium for just that, it is non-archival, there will be no recording, and no abstract will show on the website making it a safe place to share incomplete ideas, invitations for collaboration, or work that is already published in another community for which you are curious how the SCF community responds.
