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…

Xspine: Integrating Motion Sensing Capability into Dynamic Structures Using Multi-material FDM 3D Printing

We present Xspine, a design and fabrication method for creating motion-capable, self-sensing structures using multi-material FDM 3D printing with conductive filaments. Our method embeds compliant mechanisms and circuits directly into geometries, enabling the detection of large deformations in a single, assembly-free p…

We Can Do More to Save Guqin: Design and Evaluate Interactive Systems to Make Guqin More Accessible to the General Public

Guqin is a plucked seven-string traditional Chinese musical instrument that exists for over 3,000 years. However, as an Intangible World Cultural Heritage, the inheritance of Guqin and its culture in modern society is in deep danger. According to our study with 1,006 Chinese worldwide, Guqin as an instrument is not we…
