Design and Fabrication by Example
This work proposes the first data-driven method for fabrication. As the user designs a new model in the standard design-by-example environment, the method automatically computes the necessary shape manipulations and inserts connecting components to ensure that the model is fabricable.

Designing Inflatable Structures
This paper proposes an optimization-in-the-loop approach to designing inflatable structures with desired shapes. The method combines interactive seam design with a fast physics-based pattern optimization, thus providing the user with full control over aesthetic considerations while alleviating the burden of reverse-engineering the physics of inflation.

Computational Design of Linkage-Based Characters
This design system for linkage-based mechanical characters allows users to interactively browse different design options, while a continuous optimization step improves motion quality and safeguards against singularities.

Pteromys: Interactive Design and Optimization of Free-Formed Free-Flight Model Airplanes
This paper introduces novel interactive techniques for designing original hand-launched free-flight glider airplanes that can actually fly. Based on a compact aerodynamics model, a design tool allows users to interactively optimize wing configuration to maximize flight-worthiness.

Wire Mesh Design
A computational approach for designing wire meshes, freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, the algorithm balances globally coupled material constraints with aesthetic and geometric design objectives that can be specified by the user in an interactive design session.
