This paper explores the production of a specified object using a combination of machining processes, including milling, shaping, and drilling, while emphasizing the critical role of fixture design in ensuring precision repeatability, and…
We propose a real-time image matching framework, which is hybrid in the sense that it uses both hand-crafted features and deep features obtained from a well-tuned deep convolutional network. The matching problem, which we concentrate on, is…
This paper presents Tabby, an interactive and explorable design tool for 3D printing textures. Tabby allows texture design with direct manipulation in the following workflow: 1) select a target surface, 2) sketch and manipulate a texture…
The construction of an interactive dashboard involves deciding on what information to present and how to display it and implementing those design decisions to create an operational dashboard. Traditionally, a dashboard's design is implied…
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the importance of digital fabrication to enable online learning, which remains a challenge for robotics courses. We introduce a teaching methodology that allows students to participate remotely in a…
Additive manufacturing has become one of the forefront technologies in fabrication, enabling new products impossible to manufacture before. Although many materials exist for additive manufacturing, they typically suffer from performance…

The complexities of today's materials simulations demand computer codes which are both powerful and highly flexible. A researcher should be able to readily choose different geometries, different materials and different algorithms without…
Active structures have the ability to change their shape, properties, and functionality as a response to changing operational conditions, which makes them more versatile than their static counterparts. However, most active structures…
Teleoperation systems map operator commands from an input device into some coordinate frame in the remote environment. This frame, which we call a control coordinate system, should be carefully chosen as it determines how operators should…
We reviewed 43 papers to understand the fabrication of dynamic paper-based interactions. We used a design space to classify tool selection, technique choice, and exploration of paper as a material. We classified 9 dimensions for the design…
3D content creation has long been a complex and time-consuming process, often requiring specialized skills and resources. While recent advancements have allowed for text-guided 3D object and scene generation, they still fall short of…
Chinese ceramic-making involves complex and interdependent steps, making it technically demanding. Digital fabrication methods attempt to make the process more accessible, but for craft-creators, technical challenges such as CAD and CAM…
The increasingly pressing demand of novel drugs (e.g., gene therapies for personalized cancer care, ever evolving vaccines) with unprecedented levels of personalization, has put a remarkable pressure on the traditionally long time required…
Numerical simulations have revolutionized the industrial design process by reducing prototyping costs, design iterations, and enabling product engineers to explore the design space more efficiently. However, the growing scale of simulations…
Modern CAD tools represent 3D designs not only as geometry, but also as a program composed of geometric operations, each of which depends on a set of parameters. Program representations enable meaningful and controlled shape variations via…
At present, technological subsystems are usually hard-coded to produce a consumer product with a certain performance, and efficiency, which is defined either by the factory settings, or determined by the technologist's view on the mode,…
