We propose pouch motors, a new family of printable soft actuators integrated with
computational design. The pouch motor consists of one or more inflatable gas-tight bladders …

Inhomogeneous in-plane deformation of soft materials or cutting and folding of inextensible
flat sheets enables shape-morphing from two dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) …

Physical representations of data offer physical and spatial ways of looking at, navigating,
and interacting with data. While digital fabrication has facilitated the creation of objects with …

We develop a novel method printing complex self-folding geometries. We demonstrated that
with a desktop fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, off-the-shelf printing filaments …

This study starts from the counterintuitive question of how we can render conventional stiff,
nonstretchable, and even brittle materials sufficiently conformable to fully wrap curved …

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 …

This paper presents an end-to-end approach to automate the design and fabrication process
for self-folding origami structures. Self-folding origami structures are robotic sheets …

This paper presents an end-to-end approach for creating 3D shapes by self-folding planar
sheets activated by uniform heating. These shapes can be used as the mechanical bodies of …

Carefully designed geometries and materials can program desired shapes. In this review,
we introduce shape-transformable materials and their recent applications in electronic …

Folding a discrete geometry from a flat sheet of material is one way to construct a 3D object.
A typical creation pipeline first designs the 3D object, unfolds it, prints and cuts the unfold …
