Multimaterial 3D printers can fabricate designs with spatially-varying material blends, but current design software tools cannot represent these designs, so we made OpenVCAD - a multimaterial design compiler: authors.elsevier.com/c/1iF2o…

Impact mitigation is ubiquitous, from packing materials to personal sporting equipment to car bumpers - the goal is to reduce peak accelerations in a finite space. Our result shows how to do this better by using a 3D printed metamaterial geometry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Our new paper enables "Pantone for material properties". It shows a user of a 3D printer how to achieve specific material properties using a small set of "primary" materials and digitally mixing those materials during the print. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Our paper showing how solid materials can be directly printed on top of liquids in an inkjet context was published in Additive Manufacturing, solving a longstanding support-removal problem, and expanding the inkjet AM material palette. . sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our paper showing that a lumped parameter model can be used to efficiently simulate compliant robots actuated via HASELs was published in the RoboSoft '22 proceedings. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

I'm excited that our paper, "A Seamless Workflow for Design and Fabrication of Multimaterial Pneumatic Soft Actuators", won the IEEE-CASE Best Application Paper Award! Congratulations Lawrence, Travis, Zach, and Xavier! See: matterassembly.org/copy-of-3…
