[Seminar] "Origami-inspired Computational Fabrication" by Dr. Koya Narumi

Speaker: Koya Narumi
Project Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo

Title: Origami-inspired Computational Fabrication

Abstract:
Since the 2010s, computational fabrication has been a growing topic in HCI, CG, architecture, and so on, with the rise of the Computational Fabrication Seminar and ACM Conference on Computational Fabrication (SCF). In this talk, I will introduce our research results focusing on origami. The talk includes (1) Pop-up Print (ACM UIST2020), a 3D printing method of folded objects for smaller printing time, material consumption, and storage; (2) Crane (ACM TOCHI 2023), an integrated origami design platform that was also applied to the fashion design of A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE; and (2) Inkjet 4D Print (ACM TOG 2023), a 4D printing and self-folding method of complex freeform origami with more than thousands of facets.
