To support e ffective design, inverse algorithms have been proposed that optimize the g eometry of each element specifically for each design. This makes it diffic ult to reuse elements across designs or gain efficiency in fabrication thr ough mass production.\n\nWe address this issue and propose a computational framework to rationalize bending-active structures into a sparse kit of p arts. Our method solves for the optimal part geometry such that multiple i nput designs can be faithfully realized with the same kit of parts. Assign ing parts to different assemblies leads to a combinatorial explosion that makes exhaustive search intractable. Instead, we propose a relaxed continu ous optimization incorporating a physics-based simulation in its inner loo p to model the elastic deformation of the bending-active structure accurat ely. Our algorithm allows analyzing different design trade-offs of a kit o f parts to tune the balance between fabrication complexity and fidelity to the original designs. We demonstrate our method on three different classe s of bending-active structures, showcasing the effectiveness of our approa ch for part reuse and sustainable practices in fabrication-driven design.\ n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage F ormat: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Lin Lu (Shandong University) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_837&sess=sess127 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
