InverseTiling is a computational tool for producing a K-hedral tiling of an input 2D finite domain with minimized K, in which the prototile set is inversely modeled to fit the input domain instead of being prescribed.

Body2Assembly is a computational tool for designing and fabricating a personalized body-supporting assembly that fits a given body posture, aiming to make the assembly comfortable to use by that person.

ConformableMechanism is a computational tool for modeling and designing conformable mechanisms, a new class of linkage mechanisms that conform to a freeform surface in the stowed state and deploy from that surface to accomplish a motion transfer task.

MaskDesign is a computational tool for modeling custom-fit Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks that have less air leakage and are comfortable to wear, aiming to improve a patient’s compliant to PAP therapy.

TileableShell is a computational tool for modeling masonry shell structures where the shell elements fall into a set of discrete equivalence classes.

High-LevelPuzzle is a computational tool for designing high-level interlocking puzzles according to user specifications, including the puzzle shape, number of puzzle pieces, and level of difficulty.

3DCamLinkage is a computational tool for modeling and designing a 1-DOF 3D cam-linkage mechanism for exactly generating a prescribed 3D path with arbitrary shape.

3DCamFollower is a computational tool for modeling and designing a 1-DOF 3D cam-follower mechanism for exactly generating a prescribed 2D path on a planar, spherical, or cylindrical surface.

TopoLite is a cross-platform tool for creating topological interlocking shell structures. It supports surface tiling, contact detection, globally interlocking verification, rigid body equilibrium, and topological interlocking block generation.

DESIA is a computational tool for designing interlocking assemblies by leveraging a family of directional blocking graphs.

A C++ program for constructing internal mechanism of wind-up toys and simulating the toy motions.

A set of interlocking puzzles designed by the approach in SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 paper "Recursive Interlocking Puzzles."
