Surface ornamentation is a rich component of ceramic manufacture wherein craftspeople
use multiple methods to create intricate patterns on vessels. Computational fabrication can …

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 …

The field of Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) has been consistently utilizing kinematic
mechanisms to create tangible dynamic interfaces and objects. However, the design and …

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 …

We present a new class of curved block-based line structures whose component chains are
flexible when separated, and provably rigid when assembled together into an interlocking …

Touch fastening structures are widely used to quickly assemble and disassemble an object
with multiple parts. However, such structures are under-explored in the context of additive …

We present a 3D editor for laser cutting that extends the range of models that users can
manipulate. Our system gives users control over the detailed elements of laser cutting, ie …

In this demonstration, we show a selection of twelve past CHI and UIST projects by our lab,
which taken together aim at helping the field of digital fabrication using laser cutters …

Laser cutting is a fast and precise fabrication process. This makes laser cutting a powerful
process in custom industrial production. Since the patents on the original technology started …

We demonstrate software tools to convert 2D cutting plans to 3D models either through user
interaction (Assembler3 [2]) or automatically using a heuristics-based beam search …
