A new open-source software is shaking up the way engineers design and print multi-material objects. Created in the Matter Assembly Computation Lab, the tool enables engineers to design spatially varying multi-material objects with remarkable ease and precision.
The project reflects a growing interest in computational approaches that merge coding with design. The software allows users to combine complex mathematical functions and assign them as materials to different regions of a 3D object.
