Materials & Fabrication

We present an interactive design system that allows casual users to quickly create 3D-printable robotic creatures.

We present an interactive tool for designing physical surfaces made from flexible interlocking quadrilateral elements of a single size and shape.

We present AutoConnect, an automatic method that creates customized, 3D-printable connectors attaching two physical objects together.

We propose a method for fabricating deformable objects with spatially varying elasticity using 3D printing.

We present a method for interactive editing of planar linkages.

We present a computational tool for fabrication-oriented design of flexible rod meshes.

This paper presents an automatic process for fabrication-oriented design of custom-shaped rubber balloons.

We present a new type of 3D printer that can form precise, but soft and deformable 3D objects from layers of off-the- shelf fabric.

This paper introduces a data-driven process for designing and fabricating materials with desired deformation behavior. Our process starts with measuring deformation properties of base materials.
