We present the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), an interactive fabrication system
providing a fast, precise, hands-on and in-situ modeling experience. As a designer creates a …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have progressed in the past few years and many
of them are now capable of producing functional parts instead of mere prototypes. AM …

Everyday tools and objects often need to be customized for an unplanned use or adapted for
specific user, such as adding a bigger pull to a zipper or a larger grip for a pen. The advent …

With recent advances in Generative AI, it is becoming easier to automatically manipulate 3D
models. However, current methods tend to apply edits to models globally, which risks …

Current interactive fabrication tools offer tangible feedback by allowing users to work directly
on the physical model, but they are slow because users need to participate in the physical …

We propose a computational tool for designing Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces---planar rod
networks embedded in pre-stretched fabric that deploy into complex, three-dimensional …

Nature evolves creatures with a high complexity of morphological and behavioral
intelligence, meanwhile computational methods lag in approaching that diversity and …

Common appliances have shifted toward flat interface panels, making them inaccessible to
blind people. Although blind people can label appliances with Braille stickers, doing so …

3D printing technology makes Do-It-Yourself and reforming everyday objects a reality.
However, designing and fabricating attachments that can seamlessly adapt existing objects …
