Ever wonder how to recycle a multi-material 3D print ♻️? In our latest paper, we use computation & dissolvable materials *without* compromising functionality. PDF: https://t.co/88Ny5cye03 Video: https://t.co/4cRTKxOp8J

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

If you’re interested in getting a PhD, this is a great chance to chat with the cool faculty at @cuatlas. And if you’re into digital fabrication, computational design and sustainability, I’ll be there recruiting the @UtilityLabCU 🖥️🔩
To prospective PhD students, there is a PhD information session hosted by CU Boulder ATLAS Institute on 10/29 (Tue) 8AM MT. In particular, if you're working on #Tangible, #AR, and #Robotics areas, please contact me too. You can learn more here: https://t.co/QKOtIcSa20

We found a way to generate manifold, polygonal meshes from feature vectors at points -- even if the vectors are random, you are still guaranteed to get a manifold mesh! How? Halfedge meshes, permutations, spacetimes, and more! Check out the 🧵. This project was a blast!
Generating nice meshes in AI pipelines is hard. Our #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 paper proposes a new representation which guarantees manifold connectivity, and even supports polygonal meshes -- a big step for downstream editing and simulation. (1/N) SpaceMesh: https://t.co/Puw7atMeW5

Learn more about the @UtilityLabCU's work in 3D printing, textiles, and sustainability as part of @cuatlas @CUEngineering 😃
.@cmuhcii alum Mike Rivera has found a way to use spent coffee grounds for 3D printing. From espresso cups to flower pots, his creations are sustainable and surprisingly strong: https://t.co/PLZQkSnsi4

For prospective PhDs:
As a PhD student, I thought the best supervisors had the most papers or the biggest lab As a supervisor, I realise that's absolutely not true 4 ways to actually find a good PhD supervisor #AcademicTwitter
