Abstract:
This study presents a method for designing balancing toys. Through interactive modeling techniques that optimize both shape and mass distribution, this research achieves the challenging feat of locating the center of mass outside the body. The designed balancing toys were successfully fabricated using an FDM 3D printer. INVITED TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION
