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 …

Physical products are often complex assemblies combining a multitude of 3D parts modeled
in computer-aided design (CAD) software. CAD designers build up these assemblies by …

We study assemblies of convex rigid blocks regularly arranged to approximate a given
freeform surface. Our designs rely solely on the geometric arrangement of blocks to form a …

Interlocking puzzles are intriguing geometric games where the puzzle pieces are held
together based on their geometric arrangement, preventing the puzzle from falling apart …

Interlocking assemblies have a long history in the design of puzzles, furniture, architecture,
and other complex geometric structures. The key defining property of interlocking …

We present Tsugite—an interactive system for designing and fabricating wood joints for
frame structures. To design and manually craft such joints is difficult and time consuming …

We present Roadkill, a software tool that converts 3D models to 2D cutting plans for laser
cutting—such that the resulting layouts allow for fast assembly. Roadkill achieves this by …

This study proposes and tests methods for computational multi-objective optimization (MOO)
for circular economy (CE) product design. Current CE design frameworks and assessments …

We present a computational framework for modeling and optimizing complex assemblies
using cone joints. Cone joints are integral joints that generalize traditional single-direction …

We present JigFab, an integrated end-to-end system that supports casual makers in
designing and fabricating constructions with power tools. Starting from a digital version of …
