3 D printing the physics of objects, Emily Whiting, TEDx Beacon Street

3D printers are revolutionizing the manufacturing and design industry, allowing us to create shapes of astounding complexity and precision. Emily Whiting, professor of computer science at Dartmouth, says that the power of digital fabrication goes beyond looks; an untapped potential exists to design not just the shape, but the physical behavior of 3D printed objects. The key is the unprecedented ability to create intricate, hidden interior structures. Emily will describe how computational methods can exploit
