Nowadays, with 3D-printers becoming more accessible, hobbyists aim to create artifacts with integrated functional mechanisms. Many bistable mechanisms could be integrated into a variety of objects; however, adjusting their designs for different ...

Recent fabrication research across HCI and graphics shows an incredible diversity of work, much of which features characterization experiments. However, performance and reporting of these experiments are wildly inconsistent, not only reducing ...

Bumping Elbows explores a workflow integrating 3D body scanning technology with robotic knitting to create personalized garments. Traditional 3D knitting development relies on 2D drafts and panels, rooted in industrial flatbed knitting practices. Our ...

CeramiStick is a joystick interface for interacting in real-time with a ceramic 3D printer. The direct interaction skips both the modeling and slicing steps, cutting the ’middleman’ between the machine and the craftsperson, allowing the interaction to ...

We demonstrate Skirter, an end-to-end computational design tool that converts a triangulated body scan into a tunable 3D skirt model which is then developed into a sewing pattern. Currently limited to skirts, due to their straightforward topological ...

We demonstrate AirTied [Rambold et al., 2023], a device that fabricates truss structures in a fully automatic fashion. AirTied achieves this by unrolling a 20cm-wide inflatable plastic tube and tying nodes into it. AirTied creates nodes by holding onto a ...

A method for building slabs composed of discrete short timber slats is proposed. It involves simulating its principal stresses to locate and orient each building component. Those are assembled by a robotic arm in collaboration with a worker using an ...

This paper presents a tool that simplifies the design and fabrication of custom lampshades. The tool enables users to create personalized designs suitable for 3D printing and laser cutting without requiring specialized technical skills, making the ...

We introduce AcceloPrint, 3D-printed acceleration sensors that can be fabricated in one pass alongside a 3D object and report on its angular orientation or acceleration. AcceloPrint sensors utilize capacitive sensing to track a 3D printed swinging mass ...

MouthIO is the first customizable intraoral user interface that can be equipped with various sensors and output components. It consists of an SLA-printed brace that houses a flexible PCB within a bite-proof enclosure positioned between the molar teeth ...
