Y-zipper: 3D Printing Flexible–Rigid Transition Mechanism for Rapid and Reversible Assembly

We present Y-zipper, a novel three-sided 3D-printed zipper structure that enables three flexible strips to interlock and transform into a rigid rod-like form. Building on this flex–rigid transition mechanism, we further design a specialized slider to achieve rapid and reversible zipping interactions. This slider serve…

VisiPrint: Previewing 3D-Print Appearance from Real Material Samples

We present VisiPrint, a tool for appearance-first previews of 3D-printed objects. Existing print preview slicers focus on toolpaths, not appearance, while pure rendering software is complex and cannot automatically reproduce slicing patterns. Prior work highlights persistent gaps between digital previews and printed r…

SustainaPrint: Making the Most of Eco-Friendly Filaments

We present SustainaPrint, a system for integrating eco-friendly filaments into 3D printing without compromising structural integrity. While biodegradable and recycled 3D printing filaments offer environmental benefits, there is a trade-off in using them as they may suffer from degraded or unpredictable mechanical prop…

FabObscura: Computational Design and Fabrication for Interactive Barrier-Grid Animations

We present FabObscura: a system for creating interactive barrier-grid animations, a classic technique that uses occlusion patterns to create the illusion of motion. Whereas traditional barrier-grid animations are constrained to simple linear occlusion patterns, FabObscura introduces a parameterization that represents…

TactStyle: Generating Tactile Textures with Generative AI for Digital Fabrication

Recent work in Generative AI enables the stylization of 3D models based on image prompts. However, these methods do not incorporate tactile information, leading to designs that lack the expected tactile properties. We present TactStyle, a system that allows creators to stylize 3D models with images while incorporating…

Xstrings: 3D Printing Cable-Driven Mechanism for Actuation, Deformation, and Manipulation

In this paper, we present Xstrings, a method for designing and fabricating 3D printed objects with integrated cable-driven mechanisms that can be printed in one go without the need for manual assembly. Xstrings supports four types of cable-driven interactions—bend, coil, screw and compress—which are activated by apply…
