Research Projects. TT's Page Top Tomohiro TACHI Composite Rigid-Foldable Curved Origami Structure In this study, we show a family of multilayered rigid-foldable and flat-foldable vault structures, which can be designed by constructing rigid-foldable curved folded tubular arches and assembling the arches to construct cellular structures. The resulting vault structure form an overconstrained mechanism.

Elastic Origami In this research, we propose a novel computational method to simulate and design origami whose form is governed by the equilibrium of forces from the elastic bending of each panel.

Custom Component Design with Paneling Tools Takeaways: Introduction to grid-based modeling with PanelingToolsMoving from paper folding inspiration to digital modelPaneling surfaces with custom componentsPreparing components for digital fabrication Prerequisites + Preparation: This course is suitable for all Creative Professionals: Artists, Architects, Designers, Engineers, Programmers, Students.All experience levels are welcome; however, we recommend that you are familiar with the Basics of Grasshopper and Kangaroo. See our online courses for more information.You will need to have Rhino 4SR9 or Rhino5 for Windows, Grasshopper 0.9.0014, and Paneling Tools Beta [April 5, 2012] installed prior to the start of the course.

About the Instructors: Ronnie Parsons + Gil Akos are founding partners of Mode Collective. This course will provide an overview of the theory and practice of designing custom surface components with the grid-based modeling plug-in, PanelingTools. About This Online Course: Microspheres. 6.849: geometric folding algorithms sam calisch main Acrylic Microspheres + Silicone Talking to my labmate Kenny Cheung one day this week, he told me about a project he'd started using the active ingedient in puffy paint, thermoplastic microspheres, to make material fold.

I had to try it as part of this final project, so he gave me a sample of Expancel microspheres to play with. These tiny particles consist of a pocket of gas surrounded by a thermoplastic shell. When heated, the shell becomes soft and the gas expands the diameter of the sphere to roughly four times its original size. When it cools, the shell stiffens before the gas shrinks, and consequently the sphere remains expanded. Kenny's idea was that if the spheres were constrained on a side by an inextensible film, the expansion would cause the film to crease. As a test, I cast some simple strips on Kapton film. I used an oven with significant air movement to maintain consistent heating. Files. Origami Bricks. Modular Kirigami. Index. Origami to surface. By Matthew Gardiner | News | MOCA Taipei.
