New Software Helps 3D Print Objects That Feel Movement

Researchers at CSAIL, an MIT computer research lab, and Tianjin University in China have created design software called X-Hinges. It helps 3D print objects that react to human motion in real time. Inside a custom design, X-Hinges puts two separate filaments. Filaments are thread-like materials that a 3D printer melts. One material makes strong signals from a sensor, a part…
