The emergence of low-cost 3D printers steers the investigation of new geometric problems
that control the quality of the fabricated object. In this paper, we present a method to reduce …

Computational manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing hold the potential for
creating objects with previously undreamed‐of combinations of functionality and physical …

While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring
patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic …

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 …

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 …

We propose an interactive, optimization-in-the-loop tool for designing inflatable structures.
Given a target shape, the user draws a network of seams defining desired segment …

We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used
generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non …

We present a computational tool for fabrication-oriented design of flexible rod meshes.
Given a deformable surface and a set of deformed poses as input, our method automatically …

Inverse shape design for elastic objects greatly eases the design efforts by letting users
focus on desired target shapes without thinking about elastic deformations. Solving this …

Multi-material 3D printing allows objects to be composed of complex, heterogenous
arrangements of materials. It is often more natural to define a functional goal than to define …
