Researchers Theme Outline
In this research, we develop an interactive environment for physics-based design, i.e., design that maximally utilizes physical properties of elements such as origami and tension structures, for personal manufacturing. We aim to construct a system that can be used by persons without technical knowledge through the interaction under the design space in which the physics-based and design-based conditions are satisfied. Also, we make the knowledge and knowhow of the specialists and researchers on fabrication technologies intuitively usable.
