“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assemble bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.
MIT CSAIL developed "Xstrings," a 3D printing method that automates the creation of cable-driven devices like bionic robots and dynamic sculptures. Xstrings allows users to customize designs in software and then uses a multi-material 3D printer to embed cables within the object, reducing production time by 40%. The method facilitates diverse joint designs and ensures cable integration, with tested materials and printing conditions for successful production.
