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…
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…
From Prisons to Programming: Fostering Self-Efficacy via Virtual Web Design Curricula in Prisons and Jails
Martin Nisser, Marisa Gaetz, Andrew Fishberg +3
Self-efficacy and digital literacy are key predictors to incarcerated people's success in the modern workplace. While digitization in correctional facilities is expanding, few temp…
CompuMat: A Computational Composite Material for Tangible Interaction
Xinyi Yang, Martin Nisser, Stefanie Mueller
This paper introduces a computational composite material comprising layers for actuation, computation and energy storage. Key to its design is inexpensive materials assembled from…
PullupStructs: Digital Fabrication for Folding Structures via Pull-up Nets
Lauren Niu, Xinyi Yang, Martin Nisser +1
In this paper, we introduce a method to rapidly create 3D geometries by folding 2D sheets via pull-up nets. Given a 3D structure, we unfold its mesh into a planar 2D sheet using he…
Mixels: Fabricating Interfaces using Programmable Magnetic Pixels
Martin Nisser, Yashaswini Makaram, Lucian Covarrubias +4
In this paper, we present Mixels, programmable magnetic pixels that can be rapidly fabricated using an electromagnetic printhead mounted on an off-the-shelve 3-axis CNC machine. Th…
