An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or
functionality. Designing assemblies is a non‐trivial task as a slight local modification on a …

We introduce elastic textures: a set of parametric, tileable, printable, cubic patterns achieving
a broad range of elastic material properties: the softest pattern is over a thousand times …

Digital fabrication devices are powerful tools for creating tangible reproductions of 3D digital
models. Most available printing technologies aim at producing an accurate copy of a …

We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces
via auxetic materials, ie, flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent …

Direction fields and vector fields play an increasingly important role in computer graphics
and geometry processing. The synthesis of directional fields on surfaces, or other spatial …

Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible
reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from …

We present a pipeline of algorithms that decomposes a given polygon model into parts such
that each part can be 3D printed with high (outer) surface quality. For this we exploit the fact …

We present 4DMesh, a method of combining shrinking and bending thermoplastic actuators
with customized geometric algorithms to 4D print and morph centimeter-to meter-sized …

The potential of self-transforming structures with complex geometries has inspired numerous
researchers from science, engineering, and art to explore novel materials, multi-material …

We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, ie, freeform surfaces
composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we …
