| Abstract: |
Tomohiro Tachi received his doctoral degree in engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. His research interests include origami, deployable structures, computational design, and digital fabrication. We show a novel design method of one-DOF deployable mechanism based on a space curve, through creating a curved folding and discretizing the folding into rigid origami. By interpreting constant angle curved folding as a flat-foldable quadrilateral mesh origami, we design novel irregular tessellated, cylindrical, and cellular flatly collapsible structures, whose behavior is easily controlled by space curves. |
