One of our favorite books from last year is Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. The book is written from the perspective of a biologist…
Inside a bud, a flower’s petals lie in wait, a tight bundle of compressed tissue. When the conditions are right, they burst forth,…
I rendered this animation last night of one of my favorite floraform pieces we’ve generated so far. It exhibits an odd, spiraling, 5-form…
We have created the first dress with Kinematics, our 4D printing system for generating complex, foldable forms. The Museum of Modern Art has…
We are working on a series of 3D zoetropes for our upcoming exhibit, “Growing Objects,” at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics…
Our Kinematics video won the award for Best Visualization and Simulation at SIGGRAPH 2014! The video visualizes our Kinematics system for designing and…
Finally, we have some progress to share on something we’ve been working on for a long time! This project focuses on the differential…
Kinematics is a system for 4D printing that creates complex, foldable forms composed of articulated modules. The system provides a way to turn…
Most of our projects start with a natural inspiration, but Kinematics emerged from a very different perspective. This project started with a technical…
