New tool lets users repair AI-generated 3D models, then fabricate them just the way they want
“InstructMesh” can generate designs for everyday objects that are easy to edit and fabricate for both experts and newcomers to 3D modeling.
An old patent from MIT Professor Bill Freeman inspired the new “Y-zipper,” a three-sided fastener that snaps gear, robots, and art into shape at the push of a button.
“MechStyle” allows users to personalize 3D models, while ensuring they’re physically viable after fabrication, producing unique personal items and assistive technology.
The FabObscura system helps users design and print barrier-grid animations without electronics, and can help produce dynamic household, workplace, and artistic objects.
“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assembling bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.
