Laser cutter users face difficulties distinguishing between visually similar materials. This can
lead to problems, such as using the wrong power/speed settings or accidentally cutting …

The majority of errors in making processes can be tracked back to errors in dimensional
specifications. While technical aspects of measurement, such as precision and speed have …

We present FoolProofJoint, a software tool that simplifies the assembly of laser-cut 3D
models and reduces the risk of erroneous assembly. FoolProofJoint achieves this by …

We present HingeCore, a novel type of laser-cut 3D structure made from sandwich
materials, such as foamcore. The key design element behind HingeCore is what we call a …

We propose Skinergy for self-powered on-skin input sensing, a step towards prolonged on-
skin device usages. In contrast to prior on-skin gesture interaction sensors, Skinergy's …

Rapid prototy** is an important tool for designers, but many fabrication techniques are
slow and create bulky components requiring multiple machines and processes to achieve …

This paper presents FlexHaptics, a design method for creating custom haptic input
interfaces. Our approach leverages planar compliant structures whose force-deformation …

As digital fabrication machines have become more accessible and widely available,
practitioners in maker communities have become increasingly responsive to the …

We present Assembler3 a software tool that allows users to perform 3D parametric
manipulations on 2D laser cutting plans. Assembler3 achieves this by semi-automatically …

We present Flaticulation, a method to laser cut joints that clutch two cut-in-place flat boards
at designated articulated angles. We discover special T-patterns added on the shared edge …
