Design, Representations, and Processing for Additive Manufacturing / Synthesis Lectures on Visual Computing: Computer Graphics, Animation, Computational Photography and Imaging (PDF)

is to simplify content creation, synthesizing highly detailed patterns, structures and shapes, with applications in computer graphics and additive manufacturing. Sylvain received the EUROGRAPHICS Young Researcher Award in 2010 for his work on texturing data structures and runtime procedural texture synthesis. Since 2012, he has been the principal investigator of the ERC Shape-Forge project, which focuses on shape synthesis for additive manufacturing. He created and is the lead developer of the IceSL software for modeling for additive manufacturing. Sylvain is an active member of the community and serves on the technical papers committee and editorial boards of the main conferences and journals of the field.Thomas Funkhouser is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University. He received a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University in 1983, a M.S. in Computer Science from UCLA in 1989, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 1993. He has published more than 100 research papers and received several awards, including the ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Achievement Award. His research focuses on 3D shape analysis, geometric modeling, and scene understanding.Szymon Rusinkiewicz is a Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. His work focuses on the interface between computers and the visual and tangible world: acquisition, representation, analysis, and fabrication of 3D shape, motion, surface appearance, and scattering. He investigates algorithms for processing geometry and reflectance, including registration, matching, completion, hierarchical decomposition, symmetry analysis, sampling, and depiction. Applications of this work include documentation of cultural heritage artifacts and sites, appearance and performance capture for digital humans, and illustrative depiction through line drawings and non-photorealistic shading models.Stefano Ellero is Project Manager at Stam S.r.l. He is a well-experienced mechanical engineer with expertise in design, engineering, prototyping and testing of mechanical devices, mechatronic systems, and production processes. He has strongly contributed to several developments of Stam in applications such as: automotive, bio-engineering, robotics, and aerospace. He is one of the inventors of the NUGEAR gearbox, use-case demonstrator of the CAxMan project, where Stam is partner and Stefano is actively involved.
