Imagine how easy moving would be if your furniture could assemble itself right out of the box. Well, @TEDFellow and computational architect Skylar Tibbits is working to make that happen. His team at MIT’s International Design Center is creating items that can change-shape according to instructions pre-programmed into them. How? “Every material has some property that allows it to respond to an energy source, which points to how you can activate the transformation,” he explains. “We’ve figured out how to print custom wood grain by taking sawdust and plastic, combining it into a filament and extruding or forcing it out. This gives us the freedom to design the direction of the grain, which we can then activate by moisture to produce useful, repeatable transformations, like folding, twisting, curling and so on.” To learn more about @skylartibbits and his work at the @selfassemblylab, visit go.ted.com/smartmaterials
