InstructMesh: Selective Refinement of Generative 3D Models for Fabrication
Faraz Faruqi, Ahmed Katary, Demircan Tas +10
Recent advances in generative AI allow users to create 3D models from text or images. However, these models prioritize visual plausibility over geometric accuracy, often generating…
Print&Fold: Printing and Folding Shape-accurate 3D Models
Archit Kumar, Zachary Grimm, Mingsheng Xu +2
This paper introduces Print&Fold, a tool to allow FDM 3D printing of complex models with less time and material while preserving shape accuracy. Key to this work is a folding algor…
3D Printing of Passively Actuated Self-Folding Robots with Integrated Functional Modules
Gaolin Ge, Qifeng Yang, Haoran Lu +3
We introduce an elastic-driven self-folding approach that fabricates robots directly from flat 3D-printed conductive PLA nets. Elastic bands routed through printed hooks store ener…
WireBend-kit: A Computational Design and Fabrication Toolkit for Wirebending Custom 3D Wireframe Structures
Faraz Faruqi, Josha Paonaskar, Riley Schuler +7
This paper introduces WireBend-kit, a desktop wirebending machine and computational design tool for creating 3D wireframe structures. Combined, they allow users to rapidly and inex…
MechStyle: Augmenting Generative AI with Mechanical Simulation to Create Stylized and Structurally Viable 3D Models
Faraz Faruqi, Amira Abdel-Rahman, Leandra Tejedor +7
Recent developments in Generative AI enable creators to stylize 3D models based on text prompts. These methods change the 3D model geometry, which can compromise the model's struct…
Computational Fabrication and Assembly for In Situ Manufacturing
Martin Nisser
Fabrication today relies on disparate, large machines spread across industrial facilities. These are operated by domain experts to construct and assemble artefacts in sequential st…
