The rapid growth and disruptive potentials of three-dimensional (3D) printing demand further
research for addressing fundamental fabrication concepts and enabling engineers to realize …

Due to the wide diffusion of 3D printing technologies, geometric algorithms for Additive
Manufacturing are being invented at an impressive speed. Each single step along the …

We propose a method for fabricating deformable objects with spatially varying elasticity
using 3D printing. Using a single, relatively stiff printer material, our method designs an …

We have developed a multi-material 3D printing platform that is high-resolution, low-cost,
and extensible. The key part of our platform is an integrated machine vision system. This …

We present an interactive design system that allows non-expert users to create animated
mechanical characters. Given an articulated character as input, the user iteratively creates …

In this article, we present a novel two-scale framework to optimize the structure and the
material distribution of an object given its functional specifications. Our approach utilizes …

We develop tomographic techniques for image synthesis on displays composed of compact
volumes of light-attenuating material. Such volumetric attenuators recreate a 4D light field or …

We present a method for fabrication-oriented design of actuated deformable characters that
allows a user to automatically create physical replicas of digitally designed characters using …

This paper introduces a perceptual model for determining 3D printing orientations. Additive
manufacturing methods involving low-cost 3D printers often require robust branching …

We present a design system for linkage-based characters, combining form and function in
an aesthetically-pleasing manner. Linkage-based character design exhibits a mix of discrete …
