Curvy: An Interactive Design Tool for Varying Density Support Structures
Erva Ulu, Nurcan Gecer Ulu, Jiahao Li +1
We introduce Curvy-an interactive design tool to generate varying density support structures for 3D printing. Support structures are essential for printing models with extreme over…
Computational Design and Evaluation Methods for Empowering Non-Experts in Digital Fabrication
Nurcan Gecer Ulu
Despite the increasing availability of personal fabrication hardware and services, the true potential of digital fabrication remains unrealized due to lack of computational techniq…
Sliding Basis Optimization for Heterogeneous Material Design
Nurcan Gecer Ulu, Svyatoslav Korneev, Erva Ulu +1
We present the sliding basis computational framework to automatically synthesize heterogeneous (graded or discrete) material fields for parts designed using constrained optimizatio…
Manufacturability Oriented Model Correction and Build Direction Optimization for Additive Manufacturing
Erva Ulu, Nurcan Gecer Ulu, Walter Hsiao +1
We introduce a method to analyze and modify a shape to make it manufacturable for a given additive manufacturing (AM) process. Different AM technologies, process parameters or mate…
