Shell structures are widely used in architectural design and civil engineering. However, it
remains challenging to simultaneously optimize their shape, thickness, and topology under …

Additive fabrication technologies are limited by the types of material they can print: while the
technologies are continuously improving, still only a relatively small discrete set of materials …

Shapes are often designed to satisfy structural properties and serve a particular functionality
in the physical world. Unfortunately, most existing generative models focus primarily on the …

Cold bent glass is a promising and cost-efficient method for realizing doubly curved glass
façades. They are produced by attaching planar glass sheets to curved frames and must …

Shell structures are extensively used in engineering due to their efficient load‐carrying
capacity relative to material volume. However, large‐span shells require additional …

We introduce an efficient method for designing shell reinforcements of minimal weight.
Inspired by classical Michell trusses, we create a reinforcement layout whose members are …

Large-scale binder jetting provides a promising alternative to manual sculpting of
sandstone. The weak build material, however, severely limits its use in architectural …

We present a novel continuous optimization method to the discrete problem of quadtree
optimization. The optimization aims at achieving a quadtree structure with the highest …

By extending the work published at ICCS 2020 [1], in this paper we propose a method to
achieve cost-effective 3D printing of stiffened thin-shell objects. Our proposed method …

Aiming at the problem that the stiffness enhancement effect of traditional reinforcing methods
such as Tic-tac-toe type stiffener is not always optimal in the face of complex thin-walled …
