  text: We introduce a compact, intuitive procedural graph representation for cellular
    metamaterials, which are small-scale, tileable structures that can be architected
    to exhibit many useful material properties. Because the structures’ “architectures”
    vary widely—with elements such as beams, thin shells, and solid bulks—it is difficult
    to explore them using existing representations. Generic approaches like voxel
    grids are versatile, but it is cumbersome to represent and edit individual structures;
    architecture-specific approaches address these issues, but are incompatible with
    one another. By contrast, our procedural graph succinctly represents the construction
    process for any structure using a simple skeleton annotated with spatially varying
    thickness. To express the highly constrained triply periodic minimal surfaces
    (TPMS) in this manner, we present the first fully automated version of the conjugate
    surface construction method, which allows novices to create complex TPMS from
    intuitive input. We demonstrate our representation’s expressiveness, accuracy,
    and compactness by constructing a wide range of established structures and hundreds
    of novel structures with diverse architectures and material properties. We also
    conduct a user study to verify our representation’s ease-of-use and ability to
    expand engineers’ capacity for exploration.

  text: "The Kirchhoff rod model describes the bending and twisting of slender elastic
    rods in three dimensions, and has been widely studied to enable the prediction
    of how a rod will deform, given its geometry and boundary conditions. In this
    work, we study a number of inverse problems with the goal of computing the geometry
    of a straight rod that will automatically deform to match a curved target shape
    after attaching its endpoints to a support structure. Our solution lets us finely
    control the static equilibrium state of a rod by varying the cross-sectional profiles
    along its length.\r\nWe also show that the set of physically realizable equilibrium
    states admits a concise geometric description in terms of linear line complexes,
    which leads to very efficient computational design algorithms. Implemented in
    an interactive software tool, they allow us to convert three-dimensional hand-drawn
    spline curves to elastic rods, and give feedback about the feasibility and practicality
    of a design in real time. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method by designing
    and manufacturing several physical prototypes with applications to interior design
    and soft robotics."

  text: In this study, we propose a computational framework for optimizing the continuity
    of the toolpath in fabricating surface models on an extrusion-based 3D printer.
    Toolpath continuity is a critical issue that influences both the quality and the
    efficiency of extrusion-based fabrication. Transfer moves lead to rough and bumpy
    surfaces, where this phenomenon worsens for materials with large viscosity, like
    clay. The effects of continuity on the surface models are even more severe in
    terms of the quality of the surface and the stability of the model. We introduce
    a criterion called the one–path patch (OPP) to represent a patch on the surface
    of the shell that can be traversed along one path by considering the constraints
    on fabrication. We study the properties of the OPPs and their merging operations
    to propose a bottom-up OPP merging procedure to decompose the given shell surface
    into a minimal number of OPPs, and to generate the “as-continuous-as-possible”
    (ACAP) toolpath. Furthermore, we augment the path planning algorithm with a curved-layer
    printing scheme that reduces staircase defects and improves the continuity of
    the toolpath by connecting multiple segments. We evaluated the ACAP algorithm
    on ceramic and thermoplastic materials, and the results showed that it improves
    the fabrication of surface models in terms of both efficiency and surface quality.

  text: This paper introduces a novel method for simulating large bodies of water
    as a height field. At the start of each time step, we partition the waves into
    a bulk flow (which approximately satisfies the assumptions of the shallow water
    equations) and surface waves (which approximately satisfy the assumptions of Airy
    wave theory). We then solve the two wave regimes separately using appropriate
    state-of-the-art techniques, and re-combine the resulting wave velocities at the
    end of each step. This strategy leads to the first heightfield wave model capable
    of simulating complex interactions between both deep and shallow water effects,
    like the waves from a boat wake sloshing up onto a beach, or a dam break producing
    wave interference patterns and eddies. We also analyze the numerical dispersion
    created by our method and derive an exact correction factor for waves at a constant
    water depth, giving us a numerically perfect re-creation of theoretical water
    wave dispersion patterns.

  text: Tattoos are a highly popular medium, with both artistic and medical applications.
    Although the mechanical process of tattoo application has evolved historically,
    the results are reliant on the artisanal skill of the artist. This can be especially
    challenging for some skin tones, or in cases where artists lack experience. We
    provide the first systematic overview of tattooing as a computational fabrication
    technique. We built an automated tattooing rig and a recipe for the creation of
    silicone sheets mimicking realistic skin tones, which allowed us to create an
    accurate model predicting tattoo appearance. This enables several exciting applications
    including tattoo previewing, color retargeting, novel ink spectra optimization,
    color-accurate prosthetics, and more.

  text: "We propose a computational design approach for covering a surface with individually
    addressable RGB LEDs, effectively forming a low-resolution surface screen. To
    achieve a low-cost and scalable approach, we propose creating designs from flat
    PCB panels bent in-place along the surface of a 3D printed core. Working with
    standard rigid PCBs enables the use of\r\nestablished PCB manufacturing services,
    allowing the fabrication of designs with several hundred LEDs. \r\nOur approach
    optimizes the PCB geometry for folding, and then jointly optimizes the LED packing,
    circuit and routing, solving a challenging layout problem under strict manufacturing
    requirements. Unlike paper, PCBs cannot bend beyond a certain point without breaking.
    Therefore, we introduce parametric cut patterns acting as hinges, designed to
    allow bending while remaining compact. To tackle the joint optimization of placement,
    circuit and routing, we propose a specialized algorithm that splits the global
    problem into one sub-problem per triangle, which is then individually solved.\r\nOur
    technique generates PCB blueprints in a completely automated way. After being
    fabricated by a PCB manufacturing service, the boards are bent and glued by the
    user onto the 3D printed support. We demonstrate our technique on a range of physical
    models and virtual examples, creating intricate surface light patterns from hundreds
    of LEDs."

  text: "Enabling additive manufacturing to employ a wide range of novel, functional
    materials can be a major boost to this technology. However, making such materials
    printable requires painstaking trial-and-error by an expert operator,\r\nas they
    typically tend to exhibit peculiar rheological or hysteresis properties. Even
    in the case of successfully finding the process parameters, there is no guarantee
    of print-to-print consistency due to material differences between batches. These
    challenges make closed-loop feedback an attractive option where the process parameters
    are adjusted on-the-fly. There are several challenges for designing an efficient
    controller: the deposition parameters are complex and highly coupled, artifacts
    occur after long time horizons, simulating the deposition is computationally costly,
    and learning on hardware is intractable. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility
    of learning a closed-loop control policy for additive manufacturing using reinforcement
    learning. We show that approximate, but efficient, numerical simulation is\r\nsufficient
    as long as it allows learning the behavioral patterns of deposition that translate
    to real-world experiences. In combination with reinforcement learning, our model
    can be used to discover control policies that outperform\r\nbaseline controllers.
    Furthermore, the recovered policies have a minimal sim-to-real gap. We showcase
    this by applying our control policy in-vivo on a single-layer, direct ink writing
    printer. "

  text: "Interlocking puzzles are intriguing geometric games where the puzzle pieces
    are held together based on their geometric arrangement, preventing the puzzle
    from falling apart. High-level-of-difficulty, or simply high-level, interlocking
    puzzles are a subclass of interlocking puzzles that require multiple moves to
    take out the first subassembly from the puzzle. Solving a high-level interlocking
    puzzle is a challenging task since one has to explore many different configurations
    of the puzzle pieces until reaching a configuration where the first subassembly
    can be taken out. Designing a high-level interlocking puzzle with a user-specified
    level of difficulty is even harder since the puzzle pieces have to be interlocking
    in all the configurations before the first subassembly is taken out.\r\n\r\nIn
    this paper, we present a computational approach to design high-level interlocking
    puzzles. The core idea is to represent all possible configurations of an interlocking
    puzzle as well as transitions among these configurations using a rooted, undirected
    graph called a disassembly graph and leverage this graph to find a disassembly
    plan that requires a minimal number of moves to take out the first subassembly
    from the puzzle. At the design stage, our algorithm iteratively constructs the
    geometry of each puzzle piece to expand the disassembly graph incrementally, aiming
    to achieve a user-specified level of difficulty. We show that our approach allows
    efficient generation of high-level interlocking puzzles of various shape complexities,
    including new solutions not attainable by state-of-the-art approaches."

  text: "This paper introduces a methodology for inverse-modeling of yarn-level mechanics
    of cloth, based on the mechanical response of fabrics in the real world. We compiled
    a database from physical tests of several different knitted fabrics used in the
    textile industry. These data span different types of complex knit patterns, yarn
    compositions, and fabric finishes, and the results demonstrate diverse physical
    properties like stiffness, nonlinearity, and anisotropy.\r\n\r\nWe then develop
    a system for approximating these mechanical responses with yarn-level cloth simulation.
    To do so, we introduce an efficient pipeline for converting between fabric-level
    data and yarn-level simulation, including a novel swatch-level approximation for
    speeding up computation, and some small-but-necessary extensions to yarn-level
    models used in computer graphics. The dataset used for this paper can be found
    at http://mslab.es/projects/YarnLevelFabrics."

  text: This paper presents a new representation of curve dynamics, with applications
    to vortex filaments in fluid dynamics. Instead of representing these filaments
    with explicit curve geometry and Lagrangian equations of motion, we represent
    curves implicitly with a new co-dimensional 2 level set description. Our implicit
    representation admits several redundant mathematical degrees of freedom in both
    the configuration and the dynamics of the curves, which can be tailored specifically
    to improve numerical robustness, in contrast to naive approaches for implicit
    curve dynamics that suffer from overwhelming numerical stability problems. Furthermore,
    we note how these hidden degrees of freedom perfectly map to a Clebsch representation
    in fluid dynamics. Motivated by these observations, we introduce untwisted level
    set functions and non-swirling dynamics which successfully regularize sources
    of numerical instability, particularly in the twisting modes around curve filaments.
    A consequence is a novel simulation method which produces stable dynamics for
    large numbers of interacting vortex filaments and effortlessly handles topological
    changes and re-connection events.

  text: This paper presents a method for designing planar multistable compliant structures.
    Given a sequence of desired stable states and the corresponding poses of the structure,
    we identify the topology and geometric realization of a mechanism—consisting of
    bars and joints—that is able to physically reproduce the desired multistable behavior.
    In order to solve this problem efficiently, we build on insights from minimally
    rigid graph theory to identify simple but effective topologies for the mechanism.
    We then optimize its geometric parameters, such as joint positions and bar lengths,
    to obtain correct transitions between the given poses. Simultaneously, we ensure
    adequate stability of each pose based on an effective approximate error metric
    related to the elastic energy Hessian of the bars in the mechanism. As demonstrated
    by our results, we obtain functional multistable mechanisms of manageable complexity
    that can be fabricated using 3D printing. Further, we evaluated the effectiveness
    of our method on a large number of examples in the simulation and fabricated several
    physical prototypes.

  text: "We introduce a novel technique to automatically decompose an input object’s
    volume into a set of parts that can be represented by two opposite height fields.
    Such decomposition enables the manufacturing of individual parts using two-piece
    reusable rigid molds. Our decomposition strategy relies on a new energy formulation
    that utilizes a pre-computed signal on the mesh volume representing the accessibility
    for a predefined set of extraction directions. Thanks to this novel formulation,
    our method allows for efficient optimization of a fabrication-aware partitioning
    of volumes in a completely\r\nautomatic way. We demonstrate the efficacy of our
    approach by generating valid volume partitionings for a wide range of complex
    objects and physically reproducing several of them."

  text: Elastic bending of initially flat slender elements allows the realization
    and economic fabrication of intriguing curved shapes. In this work, we derive
    an intuitive but rigorous geometric characterization of the design space of plane
    elastic rods with variable stiffness. It enables designers to determine which
    shapes are physically viable with active bending by visual inspection alone. Building
    on these insights, we propose a method for efficiently designing the geometry
    of a flat elastic rod that realizes a target equilibrium curve, which only requires
    solving a linear program. We implement this method in an interactive computational
    design tool that gives feedback about the feasibility of a design, and computes
    the geometry of the structural elements necessary to realize it within an instant.
    The tool also offers an iterative optimization routine that improves the fabricability
    of a model while modifying it as little as possible. In addition, we use our geometric
    characterization to derive an algorithm for analyzing and recovering the stability
    of elastic curves that would otherwise snap out of their unstable equilibrium
    shapes by buckling. We show the efficacy of our approach by designing and manufacturing
    several physical models that are assembled from flat elements.

  text: "Cold bent glass is a promising and cost-efficient method for realizing doubly
    curved glass facades. They are produced by attaching planar glass sheets to curved
    frames and require keeping the occurring stress within safe limits.\r\nHowever,
    it is very challenging to navigate the design space of cold bent glass panels
    due to the fragility of the material, which impedes the form-finding for practically
    feasible and aesthetically pleasing cold bent glass facades. We propose an interactive,
    data-driven approach for designing cold bent glass facades that can be seamlessly
    integrated into a typical architectural design pipeline. Our method allows non-expert
    users to interactively edit a parametric surface while providing real-time feedback
    on the deformed shape and maximum stress of cold bent glass panels. Designs are
    automatically refined to minimize several fairness criteria while maximal stresses
    are kept within glass limits. We achieve interactive frame rates by using a differentiable
    Mixture Density Network trained from more than a million simulations. Given a
    curved boundary, our regression model is capable of handling multistable\r\nconfigurations
    and accurately predicting the equilibrium shape of the panel and its corresponding
    maximal stress. We show predictions are highly accurate and validate our results
    with a physical realization of a cold bent glass surface."

  text: We propose a novel technique for the automatic design of molds to cast highly
    complex shapes. The technique generates composite, two-piece molds. Each mold
    piece is made up of a hard plastic shell and a flexible silicone part. Thanks
    to the thin, soft, and smartly shaped silicone part, which is kept in place by
    a hard plastic shell, we can cast objects of unprecedented complexity. An innovative
    algorithm based on a volumetric analysis defines the layout of the internal cuts
    in the silicone mold part. Our approach can robustly handle thin protruding features
    and intertwined topologies that have caused previous methods to fail. We compare
    our results with state of the art techniques, and we demonstrate the casting of
    shapes with extremely complex geometry.

  text: "Commercially available full-color 3D printing allows for detailed control
    of material deposition in a volume, but an exact reproduction of a target surface
    appearance is hampered by the strong subsurface scattering that causes nontrivial
    volumetric cross-talk at the print surface. Previous work showed how an iterative
    optimization scheme based on accumulating absorptive materials at the surface
    can be used to find a volumetric distribution of print materials that closely
    approximates a given target appearance.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we first revisit
    the assumption that pushing the absorptive materials to the surface results in
    minimal volumetric cross-talk. We design a full-fledged optimization on a small
    domain for this task and confirm this previously reported heuristic. Then, we
    extend the above approach that is critically limited to color reproduction on
    planar surfaces, to arbitrary 3D shapes. Our method enables high-fidelity color
    texture reproduction on 3D prints by effectively compensating for internal light
    scattering within arbitrarily shaped objects. In addition, we propose a content-aware
    gamut mapping that significantly improves color reproduction for the pathological
    case of thin geometric features. Using a wide range of sample objects with complex
    textures and geometries, we demonstrate color reproduction whose fidelity is superior
    to state-of-the-art drivers for color 3D printers."

  text: Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS) is a key technique for achieving robustness
    of Monte Carlo estimators in computer graphics and other fields. We derive optimal
    weighting functions for MIS that provably minimize the variance of an MIS estimator,
    given a set of sampling techniques. We show that the resulting variance reduction
    over the balance heuristic can be higher than predicted by the variance bounds
    derived by Veach and Guibas, who assumed only non-negative weights in their proof.
    We theoretically analyze the variance of the optimal MIS weights and show the
    relation to the variance of the balance heuristic. Furthermore, we establish a
    connection between the new weighting functions and control variates as previously
    applied to mixture sampling. We apply the new optimal weights to integration problems
    in light transport and show that they allow for new design considerations when
    choosing the appropriate sampling techniques for a given integration problem.

  text: We propose a novel generic shape optimization method for CAD models based
    on the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Our method works directly on the
    intersection between the model and a regular simulation grid, without the need
    to mesh or remesh, thus removing a bottleneck of classical shape optimization
    strategies. This is made possible by a novel hierarchical integration scheme that
    accurately integrates finite element quantities with sub-element precision. For
    optimization, we efficiently compute analytical shape derivatives of the entire
    framework, from model intersection to integration rule generation and XFEM simulation.
    Moreover, we describe a differentiable projection of shape parameters onto a constraint
    manifold spanned by user-specified shape preservation, consistency, and manufacturability
    constraints. We demonstrate the utility of our approach by optimizing mass distribution,
    strength-to-weight ratio, and inverse elastic shape design objectives directly
    on parameterized 3D CAD models.

  text: Multiple importance sampling (MIS) has become an indispensable tool in Monte
    Carlo rendering, widely accepted as a near-optimal solution for combining different
    sampling techniques. But an MIS combination, using the common balance or power
    heuristics, often results in an overly defensive estimator, leading to high variance.
    We show that by generalizing the MIS framework, variance can be substantially
    reduced. Specifically, we optimize one of the combined sampling techniques so
    as to decrease the overall variance of the resulting MIS estimator. We apply the
    approach to the computation of direct illumination due to an HDR environment map
    and to the computation of global illumination using a path guiding algorithm.
    The implementation can be as simple as subtracting a constant value from the tabulated
    sampling density done entirely in a preprocessing step. This produces a consistent
    noise reduction in all our tests with no negative influence on run time, no artifacts
    or bias, and no failure cases.

  text: We propose FlexMaps, a novel framework for fabricating smooth shapes out of
    flat, flexible panels with tailored mechanical properties. We start by mapping
    the 3D surface onto a 2D domain as in traditional UV mapping to design a set of
    deformable flat panels called FlexMaps. For these panels, we design and obtain
    specific mechanical properties such that, once they are assembled, the static
    equilibrium configuration matches the desired 3D shape. FlexMaps can be fabricated
    from an almost rigid material, such as wood or plastic, and are made flexible
    in a controlled way by using computationally designed spiraling microstructures.
