ABSTRACT
We demonstrate a technique for constructing smooth, manifold surfaces from flat material. We use this technique to build a Gyroid, a periodic minimal surface, from 121 unique laser cut aluminum panels. The process involves breaking the surface up into panels, perforating those panels with a sparse patterns, and then conformally flattening the panels. The 3D surface is then reconstructed by joining the panels with fasteners at precise connection points. Our technique requires no forming or fixtures, so it works with materials that cannot stretch like wood or paper and is limited only by the curvature of the surface and the ability of the material to bend without creasing.

Understanding touch selection accuracy on flat and hemispherical deformable surfaces
GI '13: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2013Touch technology is rapidly evolving, and soon deformable, movable and malleable touch interfaces may be part of everyday computing. While there has been a lot of work on understanding touch interactions on flat surfaces, as well as recent work about ...
Stability Analysis of Self-Folding Sheets on Water Surface
2019 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science (MHS)We analyze the stability of 3D structures composed of heat-shrinkable polymer sheets and thin plastic sheets floating on water surface. Sheet materials have the advantages of the lightness and the ease of deformation. Because of these advantages, the ...
Wrapping spheres with flat paper
We study wrappings of smooth (convex) surfaces by a flat piece of paper or foil. Such wrappings differ from standard mathematical origami because they require infinitely many infinitesimally small folds (''crumpling'') in order to transform the flat ...
