An Curved-folding Algorithm to Adapt to The Freeform Surface: Design and Fabrication

摘要

In this research, we demonstrated the inverse technique todesign curved-folding paper and a design process to achieve toadapt to the free form surface. Further, the approach presented thefabrication of constructive developable surfaces and is applicable toany freeform surface.The domain of curved-folding has a strong potential forarchitecture and manufacture due to aesthetic and flexibility ofstructure. In recent decades, the development of computer graphicsand software of Curved-folding tool facilitate architects anddesigners with multiple constraints and advance algorithms. Thesoftware of designing curved-folding have specific function fordesign requirements. However, Grasshopper platform providefriendly design environment for architects and designers.The method presented offer various chances to informparameters such as line elements of developable surface. Also, itsuccessfully works for intergrating with generating of developablesurface and fabrication. We hope to further this approach byenriching it with relevant conmtemporary studies in related origamiamd architecture domain. Bhooshan et al.2) presented a methodapplicable to any freeform surface that can be tessellated intoconvex polygons with curved-folding. Our method has highpotential of curved-folding tessellation to adapt to the freeformsurface.
