Abstract: Origami is the art of creating a three-dimensional (3D) shape by folding paper. It has drawn much attention from researchers, and the designs that origami has inspired are used in various engineering applications. Most of ...

Abstract: In additive manufacturing (AM), slicing is a crucial step in process planning to convert a computer-aided design (CAD) model to a machine-specific format. Digital light processing (DLP) printing is an important AM process ...

Abstract: The simulation of complex geometries and non-linear deformation has been a challenge for standard simulation methods. There has traditionally been a trade-off between performance and accuracy. With the popularity of additive ...

Abstract: Wireframes have been proved useful as an intermediate layer of the neural network to learn the relationship between the human body and semantic parameters. However, the definition of the wireframe needs to have anthropological ...

Abstract: Iterative closest point (ICP) is a popular algorithm used for shape registration while conducting inspection during a production process. A crucial key to the success of the ICP is the choice of point selection method. ...

Abstract: Traditional origami structures fold along predefined hinges, and the neighboring facets of the hinges are folded to transform planar surfaces into three-dimensional (3D) shapes. In this study, we present a new self-folding ...

Abstract: Shape deformation is a well-known problem in additive manufacturing (AM). For example, in the stereolithography (SL) process, some of the factors that lead to part deformation including volumetric shrinkage, thermal cooling, ...

Abstract: Due to inherent compliance and nonlinear behavior, modeling soft robots is highly complex. While the elasticity of their materials provides the robots with adaptability and resilience, it also causes undesirable effects. ...

Abstract: Many industries, such as human-centric product manufacturing, are calling for mass customization with personalized products. One key enabler of mass customization is 3D printing, which makes flexible design and manufacturing ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing, also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, enables production of complex customized shapes without requiring specialized tooling and fixture, and mass customization can then be realized with ...
