Solid-Freeform Fabrication (SFF) (also known as Rapid Prototyping (RP)) technology allows 3D-printing of arbitrarily shaped structures, directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data. SFF has traditionally been used to produce only passive mechanical parts. At the Cornell Computational Synthesis Laboratory, we are developing compact, automatic SFF systems, or “fabbers” which can build almost any kind of object – not merely passive mechanical parts, but complete devices, ready to use right out of the machine.

With our research systems, we have demonstrated freeform fabrication of:
