In aerodynamics related design, analysis and optimization problems, flow fields are
simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers. However, CFD simulation is …

Digital fabrication devices are powerful tools for creating tangible reproductions of 3D digital
models. Most available printing technologies aim at producing an accurate copy of a …

Computational manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing hold the potential for
creating objects with previously undreamed‐of combinations of functionality and physical …

While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring
patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic …

We present a data-driven technique to instantly predict how fluid flows around various three-
dimensional objects. Such simulation is useful for computational fabrication and …

Engineers routinely design for strength and stiffness. Steel and concrete prevent deflections
in buildings, and machines resort to rigid articulation in order to avoid deformations. But …

Visual design tasks often involve tuning many design parameters. For example, color
grading of a photograph involves many parameters, some of which non-expert users might …

Hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) combine advantages of multicopters and fixed-wing
planes: vertical take-off, landing, and low energy use. However, hybrid UAVs are rarely used …

Users often 3D model enclosures that interact with significant heat sources, such as
electronics or appliances that generate heat (eg, CPU, motor, lamps, etc.). While parts made …

We present an interactive design system that allows casual users to quickly create 3D-
printable robotic creatures. Our approach automates the tedious parts of the design process …
