Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has been highlighted as a
complementary method to the traditional (subtractive and formative) manufacturing. This …

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 …

Blossom is an open-source social robotics platform responding to three challenges in
human-robot interaction (HRI) research:(1) Designing, manufacturing, and programming …

We propose a novel algorithm for decomposing general three-dimensional geometries into
a small set of overlap-free height-field blocks, volumes enclosed by a flat base and a height …

Laser cutting is widely used by industrial designers and mechanical engineers as a rapid
modeling tool. However, designing and fabricating laser cut assemblies can be a complex …

We explore web programming as a new paradigm for programmatic 3D modeling. Most
existing approaches subscribe to the imperative programming paradigm. While useful, there …

Prototyping devices with kinetic mechanisms, such as automata and robots, has become
common in physical computing projects. However, mechanism design in the early-concept …

To meet the increasing requirements of HCI researchers who are prototyping a variety of
forms to create novel interfaces under a ubiquitous situation, we present WeaveMesh, a low …

The creativity support tools can enhance the hands-on multidisciplinary learning experience
by drawing interest in the process of creating the outcome. We present AutomataStage, an …

Current Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools lack proper support for guiding novice users
towards designs ready for fabrication. We propose Shape Structuralizer (SS), an interactive …
