Introducing Xstrings: MIT’s New Bionics 3D Printing Method

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Zhejiang University, and Tsinghua University have developed a new approach for 3D printing objects capable of humanlike movement. Called “Xstrings,” the method automates the fabrication of cable-driven assemblies that can bend, coil, screw, and compress.  Such devices are traditionally difficult to produce because the cable […]
