Stay Tuned: Tuning Actuation Force in Functional Objects

The physical properties of objects cannot typically be adjusted post-manufacture to meet specific needs or preferences. While 3D printing offers the potential of design-time customization, manipulating object properties after the object has been printed remains challenging. We present a 3D printable bistable mechanism…

Rhapso: Automatically Embedding Fiber Materials into 3D Prints for Enhanced Interactivity

We introduce Rhapso, a 3D printing system designed to embed a diverse range of continuous fiber materials within 3D objects during the printing process. This approach enables integrating properties like tensile strength, force storage and transmission, or aesthetic and tactile characteristics, directly into low-cost t…

LaCir: A multilayered laser-cuttable material to co-fabricate circuitry and structural components.

Rapid prototyping is an important tool for designers, but many fabrication techniques are slow and create bulky components requiring multiple machines and processes to achieve desired device shape and electronic functionality. Prior work explored ways to ease fabricating shapes or designing electronics, but we focus o…

AirLogic: Embedding Pneumatic Computation and I/O in 3D Models to Fabricate Electronics-Free Interactive Objects

Researchers have developed various tools and techniques towards the vision of on-demand fabrication of custom, interactive devices. Recent work has 3D-printed artefacts like speakers, electromagnetic actuators, and hydraulic robots. However, these are non-trivial to instantiate as they require post-fabrication mechani…

MorpheesPlug: A Toolkit for Prototyping Shape-Changing Interfaces

Toolkits for shape-changing interfaces (SCIs) enable designers and researchers to easily explore the broad design space of SCIs. However, despite their utility, existing approaches are often limited in the number of shape-change features they can express. This paper introduces MorpheesPlug, a toolkit for creating SCIs…

SoloFinger: Robust Microgestures while Grasping Everyday Objects

Using microgestures, prior work has successfully enabled gestural interactions while holding objects. Yet, these existing methods are prone to false activations caused by natural finger movements while holding or manipulating the object. We address this issue with SoloFinger, a novel concept that allows design of micr…

SchemaBoard: Supporting Correct Assembly of Schematic Circuits using Dynamic In-Situ Visualization

Assembling circuits on breadboards using reference designs is a common activity among makers. While tools like Fritzing offer a simplified visualization of how components and wires are connected, such pictorial depictions of circuits are rare in formal educational materials and the vast bulk of online technical docume…

AirTouch: 3D-printed Touch-Sensitive Objects Using Pneumatic Sensing

3D printing technology can be used to rapidly prototype the look and feel of 3D objects. However, the objects produced are passive. There has been increasing interest in making these objects interactive, yet they often require assembling components or complex calibration. In this paper, we contribute AirTouch, a techn…

Barriers to End-User Designers of Augmented Fabrication

Augmented fabrication is the practice of designing and fabricating an artifact to work with existing objects. Although common both in the wild and as an area for research tools, little is known about how novices approach the task of designing under the constraints of interfacing with real-world objects. In this paper,…

StackMold: Rapid Prototyping of Functional Multi-Material Objects with Selective Levels of Surface Details

We present StackMold, a DIY molding technique to prototype multi-material and multi-colored objects with embedded electronics. The key concept of our approach is a novel multi-stage mold buildup in which casting operations are interleaved with the assembly of the mold to form independent compartments for casting diffe…
